I had an idea: We should petition to computer stores to run F@H on their computers. From what I've seen, even with the SMP version I have had zero slowdown, even playing games. Think about it: Best Buy has like 30 computers running idle at every store. It could also be used as a benchmark. "Yeah, this Compaq averages 730 points a day".
It would also put up some friendly competition between store companies. Or maybe they'd join TechIMO

So I got Vista installed. And for some reason, it doesn't like F@H at all..
So for now, back in XP.. I worry about Vista after this WU is done.

btw, I found out what I think is the problem with my main box. I was running this apc software for my ups that I stopped bothering to plug into my computer. Its system tray program was taking 550meg of memory and some other related program was taking 150meg of memory...
edit: man I slaughtered that post.
