December 12th Update

Thought I'd update this for you loyal souls who keep logging on. Thanks for your interest.

Firstly team news. LHC is still AWOL but we should it back in the New Year. Overall the team is slowly but steadily growing and even moving gradually up the rankings, the membership is growing and we have a nice wee community on the forum. In numbers:

Total Active Members 215 (+19)
Recent Active Members 106 (+8)
Total Credit 20,808,882 (+3,704,210 =56.1 K/day )
Overall Boinc Place 71st (+2 & more to come)

On the home front my resolve not to tamper with the boinc farm crumbled. I read that the P4-805D was processing power/£ one of the best you could buy and fairly overclockable (it is!) so I bought one [for once PC World was doing a good deal] and what I thought was a suitable LGA775 MoBo. Turned out the MoBo wasn't dual processor compatible so I had to get another one that was. And then of course a 3.2 HT P4 for the board that I'd already bought. Sheesh!

So both my XPs are retired and I've started climbing the rankings again from a low of 540-something to 513 last time I checked. Whoop-dee-doo!
