THGC on SETI@home!

[skligmund]

I just started a group called "Tom's Hardware Guide Community" on SETI@home. If you want to join the group, go to this url:
*go down 2 posts, there is a THG group already*

Hope to see you all join, let's kick some ass.

could i get this running on an overclockd pentium running at 133mhz? Is there a certain time that work units need to be completed in...

Umm not to rain on your parade or anything, but you might be interested to know that THG already has an official Seti team with 144 members:

Just thought I'd put that out there in case you were interested.

Nevermind my team! go to the old one!

Yes, you can run with p133, hell, you can do it with a 486 even.

That was actually a grusome game...it had those chopper thingies that could cut you in half...i dunno if you remember...great idea for a game though...original IMO...i wish they ported a 3d version to windows...and yes i still have my copy too! Lets have a P.O.P lan war!!! You got windows for work groups? We are gonna set this up!

[skligmund]

hahahaha! I have hve a copy of windows 3.11 for workgroups! But they are on 3.5 inch disks, and I don't know if all the disks are still good. For that matter, my POP is on 5.25 inch diskettes (lol) and I can't figure out why it won't work on my AXP2200 computer.........

My old 286 is parts for 486's that were built and given to old people. Poor old people.

This could be hard..........
