First off :welcome: to the asylum
No optimized clients in WCG at all. We run stock only!
On the stats yes you have to join the free-dc forum and such then go to the sigtool IIRC. A howto is on here some were I will go get the addy and edit this post.
Here is the guide MM wrote on Free-Dc sig setup.

You have to register with FRee-DC.org to get your stats (not automatic)
Don't use the optimized BOINC pgm , it's considered "cheating" and not allowed in our team. (The optimized BOINC pgm uses SSE3 instructions , this has a big influence on the benchmark. Benchmark scores will be very high with the optimized client and you will be penalized for using it : you'll only get half the credit you deserve)

I am running WCG on BOINC, so what do I put where? Do I put my BOINC ID number under WCG (BOINC) on the stat-tool page? Or do I put my WCG login-followed by XtremeSystems? This is giving me a headache. Thanks Guys.
For worldcommunitygrid it should be like: NightcreeperXtremeSystemsQuote:

Welcome to the team.:)
Are you using the UD client or BOINC? BOINC will give you 100% utilization. On the Projects tab of the BOINC Manager, hit Update. See if that helps.
You registered at WCG, right? On the WCG home page is a My Grid tab. When you click it, it will ask for your user name and password (assuming you already registered). The My Grid page has all your personal stats, as well as a device manager that allows you to control things like the individual projects (AIDS, etc.) you wish to take part in. By default you take part in all of them. But you can change that if you want.
After you install BOINC and enable it, a pop-up window should appear asking which project you want to attach to. You type in "www.worldcommunitygrid.org". It will then ask for your user name and password. After you enter that information, the client should attach to the project and begin downloading work units.
BOINC has two main components - the client and the manager. The manager is the GUI that allows you to control certain functions. The client is the software that actually communicates with the WCG servers.
You can uninstall the UD client using Add/Remove. It won't affect BOINC.
Glad you got it working. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. There are plenty of team members who can help you out.

And thanks for joining in.:clap:
This is something that is really worth doing and now we have the computational power to make a difference!
P4's were ok..AMD optys and X2's were better..
With the C2D's I think we're finally at that level to get the answers in a reasonable timeframe.
LOL, by C2D's I mean the conroe archetecture..Not clovers..:DQuote:

A lot less!
I just joined up last night, told the wife about it, and she wanted to set up her Dell laptop to do some crunching as well. Of course I made her join the XS team! :P I hope I set everything up correctly! Can anyone tell me the difference between Boinc WCG and World Community Grid? Thanks!
Welcome to the team!! Great to have you :)Quote:

If you are inquiring about the difference between using the wcg United Devices client vs using Boinc client, then:
the UD client is an old software that was developed many years ago. It is not in active development any more and will not be supporting future operating systems (Vista). It will be phased out in time and replaced with the better Boinc client.
The Boinc client is in constant development and provides more control over the machine you are using. Although it looks a bit more involved to use, it is pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it.
Recommend that you do not use the UD client. If you have just installed it, suggest you uninstall it and install Boinc instead. During the installation process, use the defaults except select "Service Install" in the setup dialog box. Straight forward.
And as always we are all here so just yell.
I'm using Boinc 5.10.7 right now, and I had no desire to use the UD client, as it seems that everyone uses Boinc. What I meant was in my stats, I guess the "World Community Grid" one would be if I were using UD instead of Boinc?
No, read my post up above meshmesh's again :)Quote:

Got it mcflurry, thanks! :)
