WARNING!!I had a Via C3 1ghz running BOINC but it was so slow I had to replace it with a P3 1ghz. The Via C3 was doing a wu in about 25 hrs. Yes 25 hours vs P3 in about 8.5 hrs. And just for comparison a P2 400mhz will do a wu in about 15.5 hrs

Anyone want the Via C3?

It would probably work fine for a file server with BOINC running in the background anyway! It's not like 25 hours will hit the expiration date per WU if you exchange packets with SETI often.

I replaced it anyway and I'm not likley to buy another board to run it. I would rather get a case and put back together the dual P2-266 than do anything with the Via cpu

You get what you pay for :)

VIA C3 is only usable for silent systems that don't need a lot of CPU-power.
