LOL... My Celeron 500, 160 Mb of Ram, running Win2k, SP4 has been working on one job for like three days. I have Boinc running full time on that box, as Boinc is its primary purpose in life.

sound normal?

Not really - my PII-450 (Deschutes) makes a normal WU in about 12 hours with a non-optimized client an in about 10 hours with a Tetsuji client.
OK, the celeron has less cache which is crucial for crunching, but three days seems VERY long.
You run other things on this box?
And what's the mem usage? (WIN2K plus perhaps an antivirus alone uses up those 160 probably).

thanks for the info... yeah, I'm running Norton and Microsoft Antispyware too

using about 130 of the 160. I setup the machine to surf and watch tv while my main box is burning movies. Any other time its Boincin'.

I burn movies for about 8-10 hours a week, so its a pretty dedicated Boinc client.

An update: I remember having to reset my router this morning. Will no connectivity limit the work pace? I was offline for up to 5 hours this am.

Now I have an excuse to build a greater machine anywho.. LOL
