Thanks everyone...
I'm celebrating 400k by burning in a brand new motherboard tonight with UD. It's an Asus A7N266-VM paired with the Duron 1200 that I didn't have a home for until today. Perfect timing I think. I will probably take the old k6-2 400mhz out of service tomorrow, at least for a while until I can make more room for it.
Crunch on

Marc04,
If I may be so bold as to suggest that you install Find-A-Drug(FAD) on that K6 and let it churn and burn. FAD is very effective on older, slower processors that UD has chosen to disenfranchise through Timeout and WU packaging policies. The first WU on my K6 III-450 timed out at 250 hours and the second one is right in line to do exactly the same.
I believe that I will move UD off of everything slower than 500mHz and run only FAD http://www.find-a-drug.com on those computers (8 in all)
If you install VNC and reset the BIOS, you should be able to run without mouse, keyboard, and monitor! | I wish I had monitored my k6 to see if any work units have timed out. The one it is currently working on is at 48% after about 52 hours, so it shouldn't time out.
I'm trying to limit how many computers I have running 24/7 due to expensive power bills. I do have a kvm switch with 1 open port if I decide to keep all of them running. I would just need another set of cables and some re-organizing. VNC sounds interesting though too. I have never tried using it before.
I will think about FAD though too.

ditto...i do something very similar (just use a different remote control program). no more clutter with extra mice/kb/kvm and i can manage everything from one console.
ps. and congrats to hitting 400k, Marc04. | |
