Had this stuff going for over four years on three PC's.

418 units for 5966 hours.

That places me 392,923rd in the list, along with 512 others.

Woohoo.

*sigh*

<grin> You should try turning one or two of the PCs on sometime.

Seriously, every unit helps. I was on a similar total to you up until

about

six months ago, also registered for over four years. Now I'm up to 1,067
units. A PC upgrade and a change from the graphical interface (screen

saver)

version helped considerably. Now my machine is crunching all the time it's
turned on and there is no difference in the way it performs, even in
CPU-intensive games.

I built a 3.0GHz machine - it runs 2 wu's in 3 hours (b/c of HT technology).
I then bought a router so that my old machine (P3/450MHz) can do nothing but
crunch wu's freely. It runs 1 wu in 16 hrs. Theoretically I can get 17 wu's
done in a day.

But I don't b/c I turn sah off when I play my 3D games - no sense in ruining
an increasingly better record.

Thx for the reminder - my old machine is still running the GUI sah. I'll
have to switch over to the CLI client and dl another sah driver.
