I've followed all the instructions, and I still never get those 600 pt work units. . . F@H

1st System - Barton 3200 Athlon XP Processor @ 400 FSB - 1 gig Pc 2700 ram - Via Kt400 motherboard

2nd System - Duron Applebred 1800 Processor OC to a little over 2 gigahertz - 1 gig pc 2700 ram - via kt266 motherboard

3rd System - Celeron 700 - 512 megs of SDRAM - Intel Motherboard (I did not really expect this one to get the big ones - but the 1st two should)
 
the 600pt WU's, by my experience are pretty hard to come by. I might get 1 every 10 WU's. Are you sure you have your settings set to receive work units larger than 5mb AND the -advmethods flag on? Don't forget, you need both. One of those should have got a 600pointer by now.
 
I hardly ever get them either. There aren't very many of them to give. So even if you are all set up and ready to go... it is not unusual at all not to see one for long periods of time. (It has been a few weeks since I have seen one with two computers)

600 point WUs are not the only BigWUs with the bonus.

Those with names ranging from p1304 to p1325 are also bonus WUs. Points range from 162 to 346 for these.

There are also the p1477 and p1478 worth 364 points. These give very good ppd, but really work your computer hard.

You can see at this page: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/serverstat.html
the percent assigned in the last hour from each server.

600 pt are from 171.65.103.156

p13** are from 171.65.103.154

p147* are from 171.64.122.134

Sometimes there are not enough WUs on the server to assign any.

Sometimes they are trying to get WUs from one or two projects done as fast as possible so they might send them out 30 minutes out of every hour. It is a luck of the draw when you request a WU and which server is being assigned at that minute of the hour.

I see that you have not gotten any of these yet. I would think that you should have gotten one by now 😕
