I have a Power Mac G3 (blue & white) running at 300mhz, just 50mhz below the suggested minimum for CPDN. Will I receive any workunits if I attach to the project? |

Hi Evan You may get wus, but the bench marks for this machine are about half that of your other one. As you can see, your processing speed is 18+ seconds/TS, which is very slow. So this 2nd machine would take months to complete a model, assuming it was run continuously. And models didn't crash. It would be better suited to one/several of the other dc projects. Sorry. Les |

I wouldn't if it was my primary machine; but if it's parked in a corner and crunching, let it run. Why not? (Says the guy with a quasi-abandoned Power Computing 604/150 in the corner doing SETI at home.) Evan, I say go for it. |
