If the other machine is lying idle, why not use it? It is better than tying up resources on your machine. It's running seti. If it had a fast hard disc, I would have done it, but here we pay for local calls, and I don't want to waist time downloading e-mail. One day, when I replace this hard disc, I'll stick it in the old PC and try it out.
Did you also tune your disk with hdparm like I suggested? I have tried it before, as per suggestion from the list (on another thread), but it didn't make a noticeable difference on my system over the default "dma = 1"
Thanks Hans
