Yeah but it took 4 processors to do that. For the cost of the board and four processors I could buld at least 6-8 cheap crunchers that would do 8-10 wu's a day.

But you'd also have to have space for those machines and you'd be running a bunch of individual PC's instead of one large one (power cost).

Yeah, it was 4 processors working, so the times for each work unit is 2:16. But with 4 running at a time, you'll get one every 34 mins 🙂

It would be nice if the Pentium-M was included in there to show how surprisingly powerful laptops are becoming.
