Question
How many Cows are in your Herd?

This question is for anyone running a DC project...just curious how many cows you have in your herd and what speed they are.

Currently I have 5 cows...

Athlon XP 1700+ OC to 1.75 Ghz
Duron 750Mhz
PIII 667Mhz
AMD 475Mhz
Celeron 333Mhz (not sure on that one, I'm guessing that's about the speed)

10 cows total, all at home. The breakdown is like this (approximately).

AMD:

XP2100+
XP2000
XP2000
XP1800

Intel

P3 @ 1.24 Ghz
P3 @ 1.13 Ghz
P3 @ 1.07 Ghz
P3 @ 995 Mhz
P3 @ 650 Mhz
Celeron @ 800 Mhz.

The P3 1.13, Celeron and P3 650 have 512 M of RAM, the rest have either 768 or 1 gig.

They take a lot of keeping after since I'm on a dial-up.

at home, i have 5 machines. work, around 4-8+...the number varies depending on what needs to be rebuilt.

the home machines run UD. had to take some of the machine off-line so my output will drop.

at work, all run FAD.

they vary in speed from p2-500mhz up to p3-1ghz. just 1 p4 in the bunch.

ROFL. Somehow I knew that question would come up sooner or later...anyone care to explain what a cow and herd are...and possibly the origin?
