Wow how much memory do you have Wren? I have 512MB and get 134, I assume you must have 1GB or some really high quality memory. Mine is just generic, it has my supplier's name on it and that's it.

Main thing is that I'm limiting the amount of storage UD can use to something like 300mb. It's been that way since I had my old compy with much more limited HD space. I was just about to turn it up, but then I realized I need to clean some space out of that partition
and may I just say that my processor speed [1.5ghz] is exactly the same as the 100 pt baseline 1.5ghz p4. 29 points higher, just because it's an AMD

For storage space, it never actually uses it all, so even if there's not enough room you can set it to 10GB (max) as long as you have the capacity, at least I think that' show it works. It might still not give you all the points for it though, but I know it does not need all that space.

I'm at 120000 but I'm sure you'll catch up to me as my CPU has been too hot lately so I had to underclock a bit. Now it's running at 48C which ain't too bad. I think the new fan I installed probably has less cfm then the old one I had, but it did say 30 which I thought was allot.

My CPU temps don't read correctly. There's an issue with the sensor on the mobo. PC Alert reads it at 67C. MSI released a BIOS update that was suppose to correct it, but according to their forum, it does not work. The Pentium 4 is designed to power down if it becomes too hot. So far I have not seen any problems, so I will run it 24/7 at full load and if it shuts down from the heat, I hope it happens while it's still under warranty.

Yeah, I know that, but at the same time, not bumping it up yet is a reminder that I need to clean out some stuff. I went through most of it yesterday anyway, but I just need to wait till my next mass-burning night to finish it off

Haha I do the same, I keep files I want to keep on my hard drive then when I reach about 700MB I burn it. It's mostly setup files from downloads though. You never know when the program will turn to shareware or decide to charge. So I make sure to keep the setup file handy in the event of a clean install. Even though I don't clean install often, I like to be prepared for one at any time, so in the event of a nuclear attack ... I mean virus, I can quickly do the clean install and not spend a day backing up.

hehe. I know what you mean, but I actually often end up waiting a long time and burning it all in one big lump, last time I think it took 3 or 4 cds between different apps, older games, patches and mods
In this case though it's a bunch of vids. They've been sitting there waitin gto be offloaded to cd for a while now, but one set needed overburning which roxio can't do that I know of [but I've got nero now ], and the other set, I though I was missing a few, but had just misplaced them

haha. I even have a CD with server logs on it. Pretty much all the logs from the start of this site to the end of the server, and there's a bunch of other stuff too. This other disk has most of the server data and local data at the time of the "crash". I'm glad I kept it all since I actually refer to it quite often.

strange. I just upped the amount of storage to 5gb, and though it hasn't been reflected on my ud client yet, my overall score went up to 100 - because my network score shot up to 117.
I'm guessing this must be calculated by the speed at which you obtain your next chunk of data from ud, because I just got a chunk a little while ago, when my cable connection finally cut back on after being down for a while. I'm guessing there wasn't alot of traffic around here because of the down time, which boosted the speed.

The numbers are a litle unusual today?
the network scores are generally both around 57-63
The overall score on the second computer is usually 183 with the processor at 207
The network scores are based partly on time to send results, I think UD is in texas, however someone on a 28k modem in texas could have a lower score if there connection bounces all around the world on its way there. Usually people in the states potentially have better network scores with the quick connections and more direct routing.

Yeah I get 40 for network. Usually it's higher though, but right now it says 40. Processor is only at 102, memory is at 267 storage is at 196 which gives me alow overall of 129.
