Ok guys, I installed 17 or Bust on one machine, and I don't know much about it. :roll:

great, all you have to do is enter your details into the program itself and then your away :P

to increase production when you leave the computer eg overnight click config and set it to normal priority, jist means it gets those cycles quicker lol.

Ok, I put it on several machines.
As long as it's running 99% of cpu, why change the priority?

If you are trying to use the machine (for surfing etc) it will seem sluggish when SoB is set to Normal.

Set it to Low, then back to Normal when you're not using it.

I have one main machine that I use to surf, and I'll just leave it as is on that one.

I can set the others to normal.

k it makes little difference overall,

if on normal it automatically get the CPU cycles whereas on idle it requests them and if say you open a game or IE browser they would obviously need them so nothing would be taken.
setting it to low means it eventually gets it all but initially only take a smaller % of the processor - though if the rest isnt taken it has that aswell.

just looking at your stats LP they are pretty sweet:

if you can push anything like 17,000 every hour you will be jumping the ranks pretty quick. - you can see this as in the past hour you jumped almost 1,000 ranks which is pretty impressive for the first day :thumbleft:

I have to admit, I don't know much about how to read the stats yet.

I put 13 out of 16 machines on it, and I'll add those others as soon as they finish their projects.
I have a P4 in there, and at first had the same version running on it as the rest, but then saw the SSE2 version and installed it instead.

I little info on how to read the stats would be great. ;)

k on the official site the stats are pretty simple, you should understand them yourself.

on that link i posted earlier there more complex but again simple when you understand them.
team rank obviously current place in team
overall rank - place in world.
last hour - is your production in meg over the past hour, if you click your name you will see the time on the left at which the site was updated/refreshed
most of the rest explain themselves, follow the line along the top, you WILL get use to it and realise that 17,000 is a high score as you see when you compare yourself to other members.

Ok. I just wasn't sure about McEM, GcEm and TcEM thing, but I see it's hourly, daily, and monthly.

;)

I still have 2 machines to add to SoB. ;)
