Do diminishing resources affect cracking rate?

And the amount of RAM too. I have 256MB of PC100 SDRAM for my Celeron 500.

I'm using W98oe. I only reboot when my resources fall below 80%, which takes about a week to occur. Should I reboot more often to ensure cracking more blocks? I don't mind rebooting everyday if that helps get more keys done.

No, as far as I know of, unless you get critically low, it shouldn't have any negligable effect.🙂

Denis,

It takes you a WEEK to get below 80%? Geez, do you even do anything on your system? I'm at 51% right now, and I rebooted a few hours ago.

heh, I wonder what BK's cyrix get at optimal performance? probably like 10% free by default... 🙂

Russ,

I surf the net and spend a couple of hours gaming each day. Hell, the biggest cpu% hit always appearing in Wintop is the 2-4% due to Zone Alarm (and True Vector). Apart from real time Norton Antivirus (0.2% on average), I don't have many 'unnecessary' programs running on my PC. It boots at 91-92% and I loose an average of 1-2% each day. It seems to loose them more quickly at first and then to stabilize at 81-82% for quite a while.

PF - my comp is at 37% after a little over 7 hours 🙁 My comp is a POS. It has a cyrix. It has a ViRGE (no offense virge 🙂 ). It has a HD that has bad sectors, which, when you try to perform scandisk upon, causes they system to crash. It has memory leaks after only about 8 hours. Its on its last limbs...hurry hurry athlon mobo! hurry hurry!
