Every unit counts, no matter how long it takes to process.

They accept wu's which only took less than a week. If the machine takes more
than that the same wu is handed out again. Maybe the policy has changed
since I last read it.

1 Pentium-4 1800MHz that almost never gets a unit done because it's only
on
when I am gaming or working, both of which hoard the CPU.

I leave my machines on 24/7. The P3 is crunching 24/7 and my P4 3GHz is
crunching even while I am playing. Even if I "slow" it down to zero, the
time to completion is far faster than my old machine running the gui client.
(Both run the cli via the seti driver now.)

1 Pentium 90MHz that does nothing but SETI WU's 24/7, and doesn't even
have
a keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.

1 Athlon 1100MHz that acts as a print server and crunches SETI units, also
no keyboard, mouse or monitor.

Buy a KVM and with a click of the button all have Keyboard, Video, and
Mouses.

...u do hav a router...?   :)
