Anyone got any ideas what's going on? ID: 1006872 ·

I'm not sure where the post is right now but just a few days ago someone had the same problem. As I remember it has something to do with AMDs having a problem hanging on SETI WUs. You may want to try a reboot to see if that will free up the hung work. If not, you might want to try one of the Lunatic's optimized apps. As I understand it they have found a cure for the problem.http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads If you need help with them just check back here.

I recently had a person ask me to repair a P2. It actually took a lot to convince him that cost of repair exceeds replacement value, and that a new one is many times faster and better than the P2. I finally convinced him, but it was way more difficult that it should have been. I would have done it, but it just didn't make any sense. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching!

It seems to me a good measure of the anxiety here when threads are taken off topic within 4 posts. A Pentium II 400 MHz would make steady but slow progress, about twice as fast as my Pentium MMX 200MHz. OTOH if you really meant millihertz then indeed it would take more than your lifetime to show any progress. Joe ID: 1007098 ·

The WUs became tagged as "Compute Error" and then a while later they went away. Normal service has now been resumed - aside from a big dent in my performance chart . . . ID: 1007311 ·
