Here's the scoop fellow SETI crunchers...
I just added my 5th rig, an older tbird 1000 thats now running 166X8.5
I now have 1 Dolly barton, 3 tbred b's also plugging away...
Having 5 machines up 24/7 is not light on the pocketbook so I'm interested in cutting back to 3-4 machines within the next 2-3 months.. 3 would be ideal but i'm willing to keep 4...
I'm debating on whether to build a P4 system with hyperthreading and overclock it with 512mb of Excellent ram and good thermalright cooling, or going DUAL AMD...
I have NOT ever built a P4 or dual system before and am asking for your advice....
The MAIN issue here is maximum SETi units !!!
The OS will be Xp pro...
Cooling is limited to AIR, no water or phase change
