Glad you're finally getting some work. I think I have finally gotten
enough to last through the "increasingly long outages". I already
figured out that some of my theories about Boinc are wrong. I had to up
my #days to 5.

I actually have two machines working. The first, my Core2 Duo
with Win2K was the one that was out of work and stuck. I wasn't
too hurt by it as it can only process 2 work units in a given
time.

My other machine is nearly identical, except it's a quad, and
runing XP Pro. So that's twice the work on the CPU. Plus, I
have Cuda running on that one as well and that one GPU can run
about the same numnber of work units as the CPU, so that means
in the time it takes the Duo machine to do 2 WU's, this one
manages to do about 8.

I have a Cuda capable GPU on the Duo, but there is no Cuda
driver for it under Win2k.

I am planning another system with Core2 Quad and Cuda card.
