Just for fun :¬)

Though it is overclocked to 605Mhz and runs MMX optimized app`s . . .

I think if you can't complete a single task within 30 days you shouldn't be sent those tasks. If that means you have to retire your machine then so be it.

I really wish I could afford the electricity to turn on my museum computers. I would love to run SETI on my old K6-II 550 and K5-3 450, as well as my many other systems! :-)

I'm curious what caused that comment. The AP task noted in the first post took 1.7 days on the slower host. The K6 belonging to clive G1FYE had an average turnaround of 7.1 days when it was active.

There can be legitimate reasons why a task, or a group of tasks is not completed in a given deadline.

For example one of my older crunchers died while I was away from it. It was a couple of weeks before was in back at its side, by which time it had finished reciting the dead parrot sketch, and wasn't even twitching, its hard drive totally beyond redemption. And so a pile of tasks of unknown size were abandoned to the pit of no results possible.
