I had a good question from Captain Christine Hurt to my Private Messages - so I'm posting it on here for everyone needs to know it - good question Christine!

It's about the SETI BOINC program...

Q "What does it mean "Run Benchmarks"?

A. It automatically runs benchmarks when it first starts - after that you needn't bother with it - unless you've made a major change to your PC - like had more memory installed - or another hard-disc or something.

It simply means it sees how fast your machine runs - so it has a rough idea how long it will take it to complete each unit it downloads.

Hope that helps

I don't really have my home PC on very much these days (I'm glad work hasn't blocked this site yet!!) Its also very old, I did try running that geanome (sp??) project one for a while. If there is any links / group log on / password let me know and I'll have a go at installing it

If you can keep your head when all around are loosing theirs...you probably haven’t grasped the situation!!

You’re just jealous because the voices are talking to me.
