So I was using my time machine next weekend and was looking over some of our old posts from five years from now. We were reminiscing about the old days when officially approved clients were not yet automatically optimised for the manufacturer and model of processors in our systems. We even had to go to each project's web site and set up parameters seperately. Ah, the primitive old days when we crunched on a wing and a prayer.

We also had a lively topic about whether we should invest in one of several available math coporocessor boards or just use one of the new Boinc clients optimized for using the power of our video card processors for crunching. Back then four core dual processor systems will become the standard for crunching.

Yes, we had some interesting times back then five years from now.
