Looks like the push for distributed computing continues.

Anyone else find a new button on the toolbar which takes you to the options page, specifically the distributed computing section allowing them to use your idle processing power?

i had to finally agree to it and become part of the fray

Now and again, the Toolbar updates itself. Some of us have the feature already, others don't have it yet.

Me too. I think it's great to put some of that idle time to use.

5 work units for me so far, but that's much better than none. I like that I can just leave it running for idle time.

32 units here so far, been leaving this thing on while away just to help out.

One reason also was just to test how this processor (1.2g athlon tbird on ibit kt7a board) does on temp when running wide open for a couple days. So far so good, stayin about 110 deg. which is very cool for this chip. 7 other boxes with same config average 35 deg. hotter. Guess I brought the right box home... :)
