It's fine now. Just today all machines have full caches. I'm just
installing 98SE on a Celeron 900, might as well get that crunching

Ah, thanks. I was just wondering if they can keep the work coming
now.

Well I can't get any BOINC units for the Celeron, hopefully it's
just the servers catching up with the backlog. I put Easy SETI CLI
on it as well so it's crunching something. That's it's only reason
for being after all. 2GB HDD, no CD-ROM (now I've installed), 8MB
AGP. Hopefully it won't pull too much power. Once it picks up some
BOINC units I'll stop SETI Driver/Spy until needed again. Hopefully
never. :-)

I'm getting "no work from project" now.

Why did you take out the cd-rom? To save power?

IS W98 SE stable enough for a machine that is always on? Do you not have to
reboot it every couple of days?

I've got a 200 mhz MMX laying about here somewhere. Any idea how
long that machine will take to do a WU?

I'd say 20+ hours at a guess, maybe more. A Celeron 900 takes about
8 hours on average.

Hmmm, I'll let that 200 mhz machine run boinc, just to see what happens.
