Here are the angle ranges and times for the first 5 WUs:

AR...............Time
0.427.......2:45 (hadn't figured out how to shut off speed step and it was only running at 600MHz

0.427.......2:17
0.427.......2:20
0.427.......2:21
3.102.......1:47:Q:Q:Q

Since I'm sure you're wondering about the specs of this wonderful machine it is a 1.5GHz Pentium-M with 256MB of RAM. Anyone wanting more stats😀 than that can check here.
 
Are you using XP Home or Pro? Is there any advantage in choosing Pro over Home? In the old days, Windows 2000 Pro has a definite advantage in running SETI than Windows ME or 95/98.
 
Windows XP Pro and I believe that the differnece between 2K and 98/ME was the NT based OS wasn't affected as much by VLAR WUs. Since both XP Home and Pro are based on NT technology they should perform the same (once you shut down all the pretty crap M$ packs in).
 
Also my brother just got a 1.8GHz Pentium-4M laptop and I'll try to benchmark it when he isn't looking to see how they compair.
 
The Centrino laptops are usually configured with 802.11b WiFi. Is there an option or flash update to turn that into a 54G? How the range & connection quality of the built-in WiFi?
 
Yes, in order for it to qualify for the "Centrino" classification it has to use Intel's 802.11b mini PCI card for wireless connectivity. As far as I know IBM does offer other non "Centrino" Pentium-M laptops that use 802.11a/b or 802.11a cards for wireless connectivity. I'm not sure if they offer a version with 802.11g but someone probably does. Also all the IBM T40 models come "wireless ready" which means you could stick in your own mini PCI or PCMCIA 802.11g wireless card.

I've been pretty impressed with the signal strength and quality so far. Using with my Linksys router it works awesome. Right now I'm in Ad-hoc mode with my other laptop which is using a Dlink Airplus card and the signal is pretty weak but I'd guess that would be expected. Also the intel card and software detect any wireless networks automatically and very quickly, and saved me from having to remember my network setings.😀
