What is SETI@home? SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. It does not interfere with the regular functions of your computer, you can even specify how much of your computer's resources it is allowed to use. It runs as low priority so that it will not interfere with your regular computing and can be set to only run when the computer is not in use.
I am not pushing this on anyone, I just think that it is awesome that we can be a part of the search. I actually currently have it running and while the CPUs are fully active (100% in use) I am having absolutely no issues using my computer as I normally do.
If anyone has any questions about this please ask.
