I would also suggest downloading Sandra, it is a benchmarking program, then run the memory, cpu and drive benchmarks and see if anything looks real strange. you may also try downloading Seti all over again case something went wrong with the download, With a 400 MHZ PII you should be able to avg. under at least 20 hours i would guess, I thought perhaps just under 18 or so, but others may be closer. It has been quite a while since I ran a PII but it was better then what you are showing. Sandra is available at http://www.3bsoftware.com/ and it will give you several choices to compare your performance with other standard configurations. Simply look for one that is similar, or perhaps that you can guestimate if yours is near where it should be. good luck NØXDW PS 260 MB of free space sounds like a disk that is almost full or quite small... you may want to run the disc clean up wizard on it.

I'm running at 400MHZ Pentium II, Windows '98 system with 256MB of RAM. I've got the program set to run in screensaver mode with graphics off. To my dismay the first workunit took over 93 CPU hours to complete :( My second unit is 23% complete and has used 20 hours :(( I've tried some different things - killing all programs except setiathome for overnight run, rebooting the machine. I don't typically stay connected to the net. I have 260MB of free disk and defragged not too long ago. Can someone suggest why my machine might be running so slow? Also, does anyone have recommendations on CPU/memory monitoring software? Any help much appreciated :) Thanks, Elby == Unsubscribe instructions: http://www.talkspace.net/mlists/setiathome.html This list sponsored by talkspace.net: building space communities online.
