Woah thats gotta take a good 40+hrs/SETI WU hasn't it? ,still it'all counts🙂

sure there are... P2 overclocked to 83MHz bus.. i had both my old P2 200's running @ 250.

Hehe ,nope Intel never made PII200's ,you had Pentiums or Pentium MMXs ,not PII 😉
Slowest PII was the 233 ,& overclocked doesn't count as a cpu speed made by Intel anway😛

I've got an old Pentium 200 running Gentoo (now THAT was fun compiling), and I was wondering if Folding@Home is too much for it. Its been running almost 2 days straight and its still at 1%. Should this be? Top shows that its using ~97% of the CPU. If F@H is too much, I guess I'll go back to making it SETI cruncher.

On another note, would the same hold true for a Pentium 266 Laptop?

How about Lifemapper?

You'd probably get a workunit turned around in 5 hours or so.

I had a P1 233 OC to 300MHz on a Abit TX-5 mobo. All P1's that I've dealt with were not multiplier locked. My parents still use it today after 5+ years.

Yeah but many Pentium MMXs were multiplier limited ,in other words you could set a lower multiplier than standard but not higher ,my old Pentium 166MMX wouldn't go to a higher multiplier but would go lower,same with my Pentium 200MMX.

I had a Pentium 233MMX@266MHz crunching for me until last year!🙂
