My oldest is a 166 Pentium Pro gateway. I would not be wasting the electricity if I didn't have to be online running an online radio station anyway. My next two oldest is a 400amd k6/2 and a 399 p2. Chris

I still have my old dual pentium 120 mmx at home which use to crunch a lot of seti classic.

And it is still booting and working.

how long does it take with them old things

P166/128MB (Linux), SETI_Enhanced, was taking ~6 days for the 62 credit WU's...

Old box that I was using just to test html from... I ran SETI on it since it did little else... Gutted it out not to long ago to use the guts in a "real-world interface" project...

Do a deja search. I seem to recall someone who did SETI on a 386 just for the hell of it!

I may have the slowest NEW computer.

guess which one...

I think Purple Rabbit has got the title. He is using an overdrive @ 133 but it is still a 486 system board.

This is my slowest: http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/show_host_detail.php?hostid=13580
which is a Compac 5100, which was state of the art in 1994 when it was built.
It is not upgradeble beyond 133.

I got PII @ 450 MHz, 256MB RAM running Win. 98 (first edition). Takes ~50-60 hours to complete work unit. I see now that it is not the slowest.

I got old Dell with 133 MHz Pentium, runs Linux at the moment, and I think I have a 486 in a closet that I got for cheap.

Hey,
I have a 133 somewhere, I wonder where I put it. Also I have a computer with an old cyrix processor. I wonder how well that would work!

I have a 450MHz p3 crunching Rosetta and Einstein and I got to thinking - there have to be even slower computers crunching BOINC projects.

So, post your entry (with link) to your slowest cruncher. The only rule is that it has to currently be active and crunching a BOINC project with successful results.

I want to see what old boxes you people have running!

Hi, I'm the Guru, number 11 in the "World Stats" with a 233 MHZ clone that's been number crunching since 1999. I built this machine on spare parts and it's on steroids.

Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Sweet! This is the same rig in a Compaq Armada (except for 64MB memory) that I first crunched Classic in 99'. It took me @ 3-4 days to complete a WU at the time if I recall.

I think that one almost certainly wins on the benchmarks count lol. i thought i was bad still running my old Celeron 700Mhz system on Linux but some of these machines are truly ancient. Sadly the 700 is a fairly recent addition to my veggie patch as well, picked it up with a 17in monitor keyboard and mouse for 100 bucks lol.
I Started with a farm of AMD k6/2 300Mhz systems and a 233Mhz k6 (overclocked to 300Mhz and fried after a week and a half lol) back in classic days. Had like 6 of em at one point on boinc. Unfortunatly i still Had all the CPU's up to a couple of months ago but every single motherboard failed on me within 3 months lol so not a single system still crunches.
I was actually about to retire the 700Mhz system cause it was a little too old and a waste of electricity for crunching but it can wait until i get a replacement. i now try and limit myself to 3 24/7 crunchers and 1 part time one.

I tried that once, but the Celeron 500 kept waking me up, by whispering in my ear "plug me in, hook me to the internet, let me crunch, I can still do it......Plug me in, hook me to the internet, let me crunch, I can still do it"

I'll take two of whatever you're on!

It will be going to a new home, just retiring as an active cruncher. A mate doesnt have a computer and wants to check out this fangled new internet thing i said he could have the 700 Celeron as soon as i replaced it. i think he wanted the 2Ghz system but that still does good work. when he feels the need for speed and buys a new computer i might convert the 700 into an email/web server and BOINC Cruncher as well of course.
