    Good point made there Big Whiskey. I wasted some hours on Sztaki too but not 330+

    OK, so far we have this list:
    NanoHive@home
    Proteins@home
    PrimeGrid
    Rectilinear Crossing Number
    Tanpaku
    Riesel Sieve
    Neuron@home
    WCG
    Rosetta
    and to finish up the non-BOINC D2OL

    That's 10 projects at 1 week each. We'll be busy but it'll be worth it.

    Any other projects to add or is 10 enough?
    What order?

    EDIT:
    For those running 64 bit Linux there are at least 2 projects - Riesel Sieve and ABC@Home that have native 64 bit applications for Linux. They appear to get much better daily output compared to the Windows 32 bit versions.

    Perhaps we should add ABC@Home to the list and maybe Dnet or Grid to round out the contest to 12 weeks?

    Regarding race choice...

    NanoHive will probaby take too long with the pending credits
    Protein gives you fixed points regardless (not sure if that is good or bad)

    I've run Dnet a good bit and I love it but noticed not a lot of interest on this team.

    I agree NanoHive is out of the disussion. They plan to shutoff the project in May for a while ? and if we build up a lot of WU´s as have either 3 or 7 quorum the risk is we not got all validated and we can run out of work.

    Look at PoorBoys messages in the tread of NanoHive.

    10 project is enough but we need another instead. Any as know the maximum of quota of each project allow us per day?

    Proteins Max 100/day 2 quorums some delays werifying

    PrimeGrid 800/day, 0 quorum

    Rectilinear Crossing Number 1484/day, 0 quorum

    Tanpaku 500/day 2 quorum

    Neuron@Home 50/day 4 quorums same delay werifying
    WCG No data. As I have seen we can choose run 4 different project. Should we chose a specific project and only run that project or all 4?

    Rosetta 100/day 1 quorum enough because 1 computer perhaps finich 2/day and night

    D20L 2000 WU´s in a rof takes about a month. A fast computer can run 500 a week.

    I have no clue how long a WU takes running other project. Any comment to above data?

    Xtremlab WUs are quick and the credits get granted really quickly, probably a good choice for racing!

    we are in 4th right now, and that is a good one for the health of the world lol.
    If you can't make it ... Don't come!

    I second that choice from PcManiac, plus we will be able to give some help to Chris Icide and his powerful leadership in Malaria.
