Page 1 of DVD Reviewers fighting cancer ! PLEASE READ

DVD Reviewer has decided to pitch in with Oxford University and UD (United Devices) to use spare CPU cycles to fight cancer - If you hadn`t noticed it on the news page yet, there is a page giving all the information about this effort:

http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/admentor/admentorredir.asp?id=66&way=ban

Simply put, the project puts a small program on your PC which crunches drug data. It will work when your PC has spare capacity which you`re not using. If you have a PC on an internet connection, this is for you !

To download the client, go to

yep
good idea DB come on you lot this is a real good cause

l8trz......

The team is growing, and now constitutes 20 Members !!

Congratulations folks.

I`d like to say an especially big `thank you` to "remedya" who has prcessed a barnstorming amount of data so far - please let us into your secret !!

Keep up the good work team, and let`s see a few new members...

OK, lets look at this for a minute...

I have a P3 500...a Voodoo3 card freeing up the system graphics memory.
I have 14 gig of H/d, and 256 meg of RAM.

My system resources are never more than 25%-ish used..

Does this mean I can make a reasonably significant difference here without compromising my sytem performance?

Come on Dan, gimme an answer! lol

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!

Well Jimbo, your processor leaves a little bit to be desired, but your memory and disc space should help bring the rating up - Any cpu cycles you can offer would of course be gratefully received.

As far as I can tell, the client software runs on a really low priority, and doesn`t affect system performance - I have serious Counterstrike friends who leave it on, and believe me they would complain if it had any effect on their game...

Besides, you can always disable or exit the client if you want to do something that requires ALL your meagre resources ;-)

My work PIII-866 crunches the data pretty quick, but my laptop PIII400 is noticeably slower.

Join us anyway !

I`m in..........

I know `remedya` very well. He has it running on his own laptop at home, and uses the work laptop all day for it too. I always wondered what those tax partners in my old firm did all day in their plush offices ;-)

anyone seen that episode of the xfiles where we have all been catalogue

hmmm just a thought?

>"Well Jimbo, your processor leaves a little bit to be desired, but your memory and disc space should help bring the rating up"

Well, with all that bargaining power you have I`m sure you can net me an 800Mhz+ processor for indefinite testing old boy! ::grin::

Anyways...go check your team members!! Happy now?

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
(And Dukester shuddup and go download the thing...do something good for a change!...::whistles the X Files theme::)

Welcome to the team Jimbo !

How about getting yourself catalogued Dukey ?!

Mark - I`m surprised he`s making those results on a laptop, but there you go. My laptop runs it like a DOG.
