I'm going to build a new system for seti only. It'll probably be a P4 system with just the basics such as:
P4 1.7 ghz
256 meg rdram
Hard drive
network card
NO video card
NO audio card
NO modem
NO cdrom
NO floppy
I would like to connect this system to my current system via a network so as to send and receive seti files to it. The thing i would like to know is will seti CL version run in dos ? I would think it would be way faster if it could. I'm just starting the seti stuff now and on my current P4 1.7 i have run my last 4 Wu's between 4 hours to 4 hours 15 minutes. I'm currently on my 12th and had a bad start at it for the 1st 2 WU's i ran on the screensaver version to which i kept it active while i was doing my usaul activites on my system. I had my 1st Wu at over 30 hours which screwed up my average. Give me some advice as to how i can get that system running as fast as possible and how to minimize installing windows if at all possible.
I would to make this full time seti machine so as to get 40 - 50 WU's per week and help Overclockers.com pass some of those big companies i saw in the top 20.
