what do you consider an older computer i have a 1.8ghz amd pushed to 2.6something and drop'd like $120 on a 9800gt just so i could smash S@H wu's. AP wu's take too long on my pc at 150~200hrs. so i dont usually run Ap unless i have too and when that isnt a option i jump over to gpugrid for a day to keep everything busy. one thing i must say tho is ive had to set my vidcard to stock clocks and im thinking about lowering my cpu OC due to the warmer months closing in

Um. That sounds like a fairly new computer. My oldest still going is a Pentium 2 447MHz, it is no longer crunching for S@H though. If a computer cannot do the work for a project, there are other projects that can still use the computational power.

I have one computer that is now 2 days late, and will be another full day before it completes. Yes, these are on 24/7.
