    Any good links to using latops for DC projects?

    Any good laptops for DC projects?

    I know they were not designed for this type of work but geez......with todays technology it shouldn't be such a big deal....

      I've been running a Sager 8790 Laptop 24/7 since about September of last year. So far it hasn't hiccuped one time one me ... :)

        Have a Sony Vaio PCG-R600HFPD running Einstein + Seti. It has formerly constantly crunched Seti classic since july 2002. Only the harddisk had problems with overheating. So i'm now crunching on a 128 MB (Superspeed) ramdisk and have it on a socket to let the air freely flowing underneath.

          I have a 2.2GHz P4M....been running BOINC since I got my hands on it 8 or so months back. No problems. It runs hot...the fan gets quicker...I clean the dust off the heat sink, it cools down a bit, the fan slows down a bit. Just make sure the air flow is never impeded through the heat sink.

            I run BOINC (SETI and CPDN) on my laptop at work and have done for a while now. No issues at all...

            slightly off topic...
            The only 'problem' is that we have an Administrator scheduled antivirus scan which runs daily. It is set to run at low priority same as BOINC but BOINC seems to get the bulk of the CPU time - making the virus check last hours. That would be a setup problem on any machine here though I think.. not just this Laptop. I got around it by upping the priority of the Scan to 'Normal'... this allows it to take any CPU time it needs and it finishes in well under an hour now.

              I'm running CPDN / E@H / PP@H / S@H on a DELL Latitude D800. No Problems

              When I ran CPDN on an C800, I got several problems, heat-related, but since I have the D800, all is fine.

              The only thing I take care of is to switch of boinc 5-10 minutes before I shut down the laptop, so the heat get's out ...

              The laptop has a Pentium M 2,0 GHz-processor; it's faster than my 3,0 GHz Desktops :-)

              Supporting BOINC, a great concept !

                  I have E@H running on my Compaq NX9010 (P4 2.66Ghz) here at work. Makes the fan run prety much constantly, but it's pretty quite and actually less distracting than having it come on and off randomly while I'm working...

                    I have SETI, EINSTEIN and CPDN running on my laptop. The fan is quiet and pretty much stays that way. The laptop pretty much is running 24/7..

                    I am running a Dell Inspiron 8600, 1.5GHz Centrino, 256 RAM, and wireless. Einstein seems a liitle slower then SETI, but not much. Posted my first WU during the night.

                      I have Einstein + Seti running on my Dell laptop. It runs just fine, and I have it going just about 24x7.

                        I'm running on a P4 w/HT and my processor usage is constantly at 100%. Is there any way possible to lower this usage to 50% of my processor?
