My new SSD showed up today. Since the old drive is still under warranty, I am going to just run it until it fails at this point. When it does, I'll put in the new drive, re-load the OS, and then get an RA for the old drive and get a replacement (which I'll keep as a backup drive for when the new one fails). This way I won't be down for a week waiting for a replacement drive to show up.

My SSD is 64GB and the price is about $75, which is quite reasonable for a 2.5" drive.
----------------------------------------The other thing to do to get the most from a PC is to increase the RAM. Prices for memory are cheap but some of the higher capacity sticks can be expensive.

I should hit 20 year of run time today. Almost 14 of those years are since I joined the survivors a year ago, since I got my good crunching box right after I joined

gretchch,
----------------------------------------Congratulations, you got your 20 years and are close to getting an Emerald globe. About a year ago I was the team as the captain stopped contributing and was unreachable. It is good to have some company. I sincerely appreciate you and the other members that have joined the team. In all of WCG we are #332 in run time and #242 in points. Thanks very much for your contribution. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

Ended up with 30 BETAs which is not a lot of total run time as each was 0.05 (about 3 minutes).
----------------------------------------If you click the mail icon at the bottom of my signature it will open an email with my cancer_survivor email address in the To: field. The account is just for WCG so give it a try if you like. [Edit] You must be logged in to see the icon. Received an email from AT&T/Yahoo that this account had been changed and was being sent to an account starting with "coo...........". I did NOT make any changes. So, changed my password. Nothing worse than a scumbag hacking into your email account. Don't they have anything better to do????? Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some battle.

The number of projects is now 8 available and 2 intermittent.
----------------------------------------Available Projects Computing for Sustainable Water (Completed) Say No to Schistosoma GO Fight Against Malaria Drug Search for Leishmaniasis The Clean Energy Project - Phase 2 Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy - Phase 2 (Completed) Help Fight Childhood Cancer Help Conquer Cancer Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 FightAIDS@Home Intermittent Projects Computing for Clean Water Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together - Phase 2 We can expect HCC GPU to start soon but have not heard anything firm regarding a date. Don't know if the GPU project will wipe out the remaining HCC CPU work as happened with the accelerated CPU projects. Just to be safe I am running all of the HCC (and HFCC) work I can.
