Optimizing my computers

Hello everyone,

First post here!

I have 3 PC laptops and a iMac working round the clock on Seti at the moment. The Pc's all run XP and the mac is running Snow leopard. I would really like to get the most out of these, could anyone point me in the direction of some optimization programs?

Welcome mrudling,

Milkyway also has some very good optimised applications:
Ice's thread and links to the apps.

Works with ATI cards as well if you have any of those! Not sure about Mac's as I dont have any Sad

Hope this helps

Hi mrudling

Keep your eye on AQUA. The Project team there lit a bonfire under it about 6 weeks ago, and it took off. They are pausing for breath at present finishing off Optimised apps for multi core machines (single core machines cannot crunch there - HT is ok).

They are proper multi-thread multi-core WUs, and for example on a Quad, they will use all four cores. The next run is due this week if testing goes ok. Their credit ratings are always high. Project Page:
