Sounds like my race with Michael. I was just able to keep ahead of him (this was to 100WU, long before the Cuppies!)

Good luck!

P.S. Sukhoi, I'm curious how SETI V3.0 will affecting our race. I know it will slow me down; how about you? Maybe post benchmarks in the benchmark thread.

he he he...not fair asslaminator!!

i'm now at 956 and mucman's at 961. it's coming right down to the wire considering we started almost a month ago with these numbers: 755 for me and 861 for mucman. wow! i just noticed the numbers...that's weird! 200 for me and 100 for mucman. too weird! anyway, it's going to be close, so keep your eyes open for the final thread with the results of the race!

Good luck with the race guys! I'm racing Michael and KB0ogt to 1K. Well, needless to say I'm trying very hard just to come in second place!:eek: Looks like we will all be crossing the finish line together. On to 1K!!!:):D:):D

I recruited a P233 but it's not helping! I might be getting a dozen 486's... how WU's would that be able to do?

They'd be pretty bad at SETI because of the tiny cache and horrible RAM speeds...you might want to consider running RC5 on them.

I will look into it then... I am planning on donating a few to my Mom's hospital for their childrens ward, but with whatever is left over will do some good wholesome crack ;)

I think I read somewhere that a 66mhz 486DX-2 would get around 1wu a week. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, just what someone was claiming.:)

Edit: This was on seti.:D

A PII 233 with SDRAM should do a WU in about 14hrs on GUI v2.04 ,a Pentium 233 MMX with EDO RAM should do a WU in about 20-23 hrs or so.
Good luck :)

Tetsuo, what happened? All of the sudden I got a 4WU lead back up? Did fate smile upon me and give me a few easy WU's?

Right now it is

I am at 983 and Tetsuo is just a bit behind... The SETI servers are down, and he has SETIQ and I don't!!! I am getting worried!

he he he he he...it may not be over, but it's close.

as of 11:52PM on wednesday...
64) Tetsuo 995 1.23 years 10 hr 49 min 20.2 sec
65) Mucman 988 1.14 years 10 hr 06 min 37.3 sec


i will flush at least two more wu's by the end of the night.


it looks like thursday is the day, one way or another. i just hope you don't actually have setiq up and running and you're prepared to dump a final 12 on me and take the gold.

let's not forget ElFenix either...he's only 20 wu's away from his goal of 1500! go ElFenix!!!
