I know at one point I had just a shedload of 'em all running out of my home office. Heck, I even had some 486's cranking if I recall correctly (something like 1 week per work unit!) My Tecra 8100 fell prey to SETI processing as well. Fan failed far sooner than it should've. Probably because it was always on!

Anybody know how many computers have cooked themselves to death by running Seti? My theory is that the aliens put out Boinc to cause those interested in them to cook their computers so they can't look for them. Just a theory though... I want to believe.

Are you doing protein folding or SETI exploration with 10GB? :) I’m curious as to what computing you do that could possibly utilize 12GB of RAM?
