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.

I'd like to know how it goes. I have an overclocked 166MMX (As
if I'd run anything that wasn't overclocked. <g> It's only
clocked to 188Mhz though, 75Mhz FSB. Not the greatest mobo,
very limited, an old AT.) but I don't have a spare port on my
ethernet switch to give it internet access. Methinks I need a
switch with more ports.

Well I hooked it up. I'm surprised I got that old 10 bit
networkcard installed so quickly.

Anyway, it says it is going to take a little over 35 hrs.

LOL, I originally wrote 30+ hours then thought "Nah, it's gotta be
quicker than that".

Even better, it's going to take more than 40 hrs!

The last Pentium 1 I tried on SETI classic took 48 hours. I don't
recall the speed of it though, maybe a 120Mhz? That was classic
which seems to be around 10-20% faster than BOINC.

Well, it has finished it's first WU. 42 hrs 12 min 54 sec!
