I have an old box I was using as a print server that I upgraded from S@H Classic to BOINC and it doesn't seem to be able to take it.
Classic was running OK, 12 hours per or so (I think)

BOINC is working on a unit for the 80th hour now and is at 43% with another "109 hours" to go.

It's not crunching efficiently.

900MHz Duron
Windows ME
384MB ram

Anyone have any obvious suggestions besides dumping the box?
I'd say ME is a POS, but that doesn't help me here.

Thanks.

Umm What changed?

Oh Boinc happened.

Don't defend that POS. That was the beauty of classic--A POS could help.

I'd just let it run. At least you still have work and will probably stay busy during the long and frequent outages:)

I have several P3 machines from 600-866, and do not take that long on WUs. The 600 takes usually between 9-11 hours, the others are comparable. I think something else might be a problem? Heat?

I know ME is not the best OS for Boinc. I am running on XP on all the P3s. Maybe try and OS update?

You can get an Optimized Client.

You may need CPU-Z (which can also be found there) in order to find out what your CPU is capable of.

Installation instructions are provided at that site also.

Don't dump it.

BOINC runs at a lower priority than Classic, hence if the print server spends a lot of it's time serving, then there will be less time for BOINC to crunch Seti Work Units.

Soemthing else is eating all your CPU cycles, this CPU should do a WU in about 10 hours.
