600 YEARS on the SETI project!! :)

As of Midnight Pacific Time, we are sitting at 599.53 years of CPU processing time for the SETI project. At an average of 15 hours per WU (just a rough number with the 3.03 client) we only need to return 275 more WU's to break 600 YEARS! Pretty darn cool! 😀
 
wow! 15 hours per WU? What kind of machines are you guys using? It took 116 hours for one last time on my 166 machine that sets idle, pretty much for that purpose.. I just setup a screaming "legacy box" a P100 with 8 megs of RAM, a 1 gig HD, running free bsd. Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take to crunch a work unit on that one?? Heck, it just sits around doing nothing anyway, I figure, what the heck?

 
UnixFreak,
116 hours seems kind of long. If you are running a GUI version in screensaver mode, make sure you set the screensaver to blank in a minute or two at the most. Also check to see if something else is running at this time like defrag.
 
yeah, you're probably right, but I should have worded that differently.. It is mostly dedicated to cracking, my GF checks her email on it, because it is the only windoze machine in the office, I dont know exactly how much she has been on it, but I agree that something is wrong, it should not take that long, even though it is a P166 with 32megs of ram. If my 486 passes it, I will definetly know there is a problem somewhere!!
 
I have a Crapaq 🙂 P133 that took about 100 hours on version 3.0, (mainly just because it's a crappy computer) so UnixFreak's time is possible depending on the system itself, especially if using version 3.03...
 
600 years! A little after I join the TeAm at the end of July 2000, we were at 251 years. So we have more than doubled in 6 months! Congrats TeAm! 🙂😀
 
Even with v3.03 I would of thought that a Pentium 166 (it's not a Cyrix is it?) would do a WU in under 100 hrs.
I would of thought about the 60hr range with v3.03 (as long as blank screen is enabled)
