ah, from what I'm hearing, the SETI@home software is a real dog. My boss was
running it on his home 128MB pentium--2 400 as a screen saver, he said after
it had run even for a few seconds, his entire computer was worthless til he
rebooted. It apparently consumes gobs of system resources and isn't real good
at releasing them.
prime95/NT on the other hand is virtually invisible on my systems.
