The SG-Booster is an account which we use to give "old" hardware a second chance. One of our members, RealSanta, collects all the hardware that our members want to donate and builds complete systems out of this. These additional PCs are hosted from different members.
For the race we can use the Booster-Account and the "weak account key" for people who don't want to create their own account at POEM.
But you can build up your own "accumulative account" of course...it's just an offer.

Nice concept :love:
One of our teams had something similar at the Seti Classic era : it was called "les Vieux Croutons" (if someone can translate :jap:). These were quite out of age machines, like a 486DX2 66 that I built to crunch the longest valid Seti wu (3.3x) : something like nearly 14 days of non-stop crunch :lol:
But your concept of CPU revival and hosting at members' is pretty interesting :love:

I thought a crouton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crouton) is something to be found in ones soup or salad. :D
/completely offtopic/
During Seti Classic I was member of a team called no disco (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=1694886) where we tried to run Seti@home as slow as possible. Most members also used 486 pcs. I did not have one at that time, so instead I used this puppy here:
It could be clocked at 1x bus clock (unlike a Pentium), so I managed to run it at 50 MHz core clock and at this clock it was not faster than an Intel 486 because it had a weak FPU.
Since I wasn't satisfied with its slowness, I wanted to take it to the hilt and managed to install and run SETI@home and Windows 98 on a 386SX with only 5 MB RAM and no floating-point unit present. This thingie was so incredibly slow, it would have taken several months to finish one workunit. Unfortunately it crashed after a few weeks and I never finished a result on it. :lol:
As you can see on the link above, I finished a mere 19 Classic workunits on this account, which took me more than 10.000 cpu hours, so on average it took 23 days to finish one unit.
Believe me, I had a lot of fun with this nonsense. :)

Thx a lot, Black Hole Sun, got your message. :hello:
Well, just to reply to your last question: Yes, we were aware of that 'deadline', but we didn't care about it, to tell the truth. This team no disco was not really for doing science, only for having fun. :)

Alexander Klietz1 : yeah, vintage crunching :love:
Did you know that seti classic wus were valid for only 15 days ? after that, they were sent again to other hosts ;)
PS : I had to recreate a dedicated topic as it was very off topic into the other one :D
But I had a problem to give you back your above post.
Now solved, thanks :jap:

I got some RAM here that may fit (DDR PC3200, maybe also some SD PC133). If you can evaluate that you need it just PM me your address and it is on its way by tomorrow. Just don't have any MoBos left, so no help from this side)

Thanks for your offer :jap:
No bip at boot, no fans spinning, so the dead mobo is my first guess. I tried the 3 ram sticks I have one after the others (2x128 single side and 1x256 double sided) but no sign of life.
I have serious doubts on the mobo: the mofsets seem to have leaked. So changing ram sticks won't help I guess.

Thx for participating ... some host are now attached as charity-guests.. GREAT!!!
Also some Non-SETI.Germany-Users are interested... be welcomed...
...
here the english version of our "offer":
Everyone can crunch on the Booster account for the duration of the Charity-Crunch if they want to.
If you are interested, either PM RealSanta or follow instructions below:
Before doing this, please make sure you are not currently attached to POEM in BOINCManager. If you are, please detach from the Project and exit the BOINCManager (stop all BOINC altogether).
The easiest way is to copy the attached .xml file (http://board.setigermany.de/attachment.php?attachmentid=500&d=1231681319 ) to your BOINC data directory
Either
C:\Program Files\BOINC
or
C:\Documents and Settings\All users (or your profile name)\Application Data\BOINC (this is a hidden folder so make sure you have ticked "show hidden files and folders")
Now copy attached .xml file to above mentioned directory and restart BOINC. That's it.
Important notice:
* No other settings of your current BOINC Manager will be changed (Projects, Accounts).
-> So you can keep crunching for your other usual projects or even stop crunching for the Booster Account.
* By detaching POEM later, you immediately stop crunching for the Booster account.
So you keep full control of your machine - no remote control or anything!
