[font='courier,courier new']That WU had better be ET's "Hello, Earthlings" message - 56 hours is far too long... And if it isn't, I feel your pain.[/font] ID: 131512 ·

My old 133MHz used to average between 85 and 110 hours per WU. I got ten good years out of it and eventually replaced it with an AMD 1.8 (~3.5 hours/WU) a couple months ago.

You short on RAM in it? I have three K6-2/500's and they do a lot better than that. The slowest of the three only has 92 MB and still runs a result in about 31 hours, and the faster ones (192 and 256 MB) in about 24 hours. In fact I have a K6/300 with 192 MB and it runs one in 39.5 hours. Alinator ID: 131610 ·

When the optimized clients for windows started coming out, I replaced the stock client on it and it actually took longer (28 hours). It was then that I decided to put that pc out to pasture. 7,049 S@H Classic Credits ID: 131630 ·

[snip] Sounds way too slow, I had an K6 400 that dropped down to running at something like 64hrs a unit, when I retired it, found that the CPU fan had stopped spinning (due to melting), so that may have been the problem, don't know for sure as it hasn't crunched since.
