Okay, I have several P2 processors laying around, and sicne they are too old to fold I looked into seti.. they meet the BARE requirements.. so How much out put will these things have WU wise? In the end I hope to have perhaps up to 10 systems going, all using windows 98 and all having 64-96 MBs of ram.
 
haha the yare quite slow :) like if you have 10 of then at 350mhz then its better to have a 3ghz pd
 
If they're too slow for seti, check out some of the projects in the alt.dc room. Seventeen or bust does well on slower rigs, I have a 550mhz amd of some sort crunching that. IIRC tanpaku and ufluids do okay on slower systems.
 
If I remember correctly back in the days before Seti_enhanced it took my P2 Celery 466@525Mhz with MMX optimized client around 10hours for a WU.
Today it would be probably around 30hours.
