I've played with the BOINC software and I'm not too impressed with it all that much ... lots of eye candy over the old system and I process it a little slower then the old system but one thing that got me is that I'm on full time DSL connection and its fails to get updates on a regular basis. It times out for a hour before it tries again to get a new chuck of data for me to process... I can be 1/3 done in an hour on my P4 2.8(E) with dual channel 1GB ram .. and to go 4-5 hours with out an update which is what has been happening isn't helping the Seti community.

I've tried to force an update to get new data with out any luck so I've un-installed it and went back with the old tried and true setting.

BOINC seems to be set up to process other activities like SETI at the same time. I'll look into it again futher once there is more then one product to analyise.
