    Congrats everyone.... I'd imagine I'll be getting my 250 tiffy this month (May!) and possibly my 500 tiffy as I'll have an extra cruncher going (1.5Ghz P4) soon :D

    Stick the theme over to classic mode. Turn off all un-necessary services (see Black Viper's services guide). Also, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance settings > Adjust for best performance and things should run just fine with 128Mb. :)

    ProSpec, do you reckon I should stick with the 1700+ for the main list up top if there is little difference in performance...?

    Price/Performance thread - *Guide to building best value SETI cruncher*

    I find on my dedicated SETI box that never more than 60Mb is used. Would it be safe to say then that people could be safe using 128Mb? That would certainly bring the cost down further. If bought in a single memory stick then it would allow for future growth anyway. --- People, keep the...

    Good shout. Can we keep a case involved for simplicity? I wanted to list all core components so ppl can pick and choose.

    Price/Performance thread - *Guide to building best value SETI cruncher*

    Right then. I thought I'd set up a thread that would list the most current components for the best price/performance ratio. The only catch is that the system has to be ideal for SETI and the base unit (i.e no mouse/monitor/kb) has to weigh in at less than £250. This can be updated over the...
