I am now in the top 1000 in points. I have over 10,000 results. I am very close to going over 10 years in cpu time. All that might be impressive until I compare myself with the leader. All that is just a little more than 4 days output for the leader. It is interesting that I am in the top one-half of one per cent of the members but the top four will do more than all I have done in just one day. As a side note the cost of a quad computer have dropped so low that anyone serious about this will probably save enough in electricity in a year or two to justify purchasing one. I do not know why but the quad I have is beating my single processor by over 6 to 1(173 to 26). The single processor is a 2800+ amd. The quad is a q6600 intel running at 2.4GHz. So the question is does the cost of electricity for one quad equal the cost of running 6 single processors?

Well
---------------------------------------- As long as you really do not need to _count_ power comsuption, you are on lucky position. My computers eat about 4kW (veeeery conservative estimate), and it take somethink like 12kW to get all that heat elevated out. So total consumpition is somethink like 20kW per hour...
