Goto http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html and download the Seti text based client. You'll notice a vast increase in performance. I have a Duron 650 with 384MB RAM and using the graphics client it took me 12 -14 hours per work unit. Using the text based client it now only take me 8 - 9 hours per work unit.

I have a general question.
 
I'm running setiathome on a Intel celeron 500 with 128 meg of ram.  Everything is disabled except for explorer and systray.  The best time I can get is around 18 hours per work unit.  This is with setiathome minimized to the tray, and the "blank screen" screen saver set to 1 minute.
 
Is this a good time?  According to setispy (add on program) the celeron should be doing a lot better.
 
Thanks
 
Chris
