...Basically like SETI@Home, depending on how long the computer has taken to complete an WU or a trickle, the more credit they gain. I\'ve had to put my notebook\'s processor speed down to 500mhz because of some cooling problem (looking into it) but it\'s annoying that I\'m not going to be reseiving as much credit as before even though it\'s doing more work. Please add this feature in, it will help any one with a slower computer. |

Here, there is a fixed credit per trickle returned as there is no validation. In any case the speed of a computer should not make much difference in the amount of credit granted per WU. The way is is supposed to work is that the credit for a particular WU is the same on any machine, but the credit / time is greater for faster machines as they can push out more WUs / (pick a time unit). <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=13"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://13.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a> |
