Is there some factual basis for this supposition?
"if" Jim, *if*.
Then again if a slow computer, crunching on 1 WU for 200+ hours returns
a correct WU, whereas 2 or 3 extremely OC PCs crunching a WU in less
than 1 hour return garbage, then I would assume that the result that took
8+ days is more useful than the fast results which are useless...
And yes.
there have been "extremely" OCed machines returning nothing but garbage.
That was another reason why Roelof used to check the results from the
benchmark WU.
