Hi: First of all, I apologize if this is considered spamming.
I've noticed that because of the nature of the EON client, approximately half the time the cpu isn't being used because the computer is waiting for a work-unit. Therefore, I'd like to recommend a couple of things it could do in the meantime.
The first one is very general. There are a lot of sieving projects out there. Sieving is basicly looking for factors of potential prime numbers in order to save time for the project. If you run an AMD made in this century, you would be helpful in one of these projects.
Another good project with low cache usage for AMDs is Find-a-Drug, anything faster than about 1GHz would be welcome, less for people who don't run EON.
Those are my two recommendations for people who run EON on AMD computers. I'm assuming the recommendation for Intels running EON is timeless Folding@Home work units, but that's a SWAG on my part, and other people may have different views based on ACTUAL experience:o
Simply install the secondary project and make sure EON is at a higher priority so that it gets everything it wants.
I'm going to stop and restart the two programs I'm running to get a general idea of the split between resources. I'll probably post in the morning or sometime in the afternoon tomorrow for those who are interested.
C-ya
