Bummer. On one of my computers this program crashed, lost the data and started over at zero after ciphering it's way up to 70%. It just finished the new WU though and seems to be stable now. It's an AMD 1.8g/256 RAM XP sp2.
Aside from this one I have installed this on my laptop, Hyper-threaded(50% cpu max) 2.8g/512 XP sp2 that is shut down at bedtime and a 3.2g/1m XP sp2 that only runs a few hours per day. I have several other machines (8) but I don't think they will be fast enough for this. 33mhz-533mhz. Thanks for the link to this Dizzutch, I hope others will join in the fun.

thanks for joining in. I have it running on 3 1Ghz machines, those are the slowest. I guess you could install it on something older, the project will take anything..
.. but it's totally up to you. Thanks for the contribution. |

I set it up on my webserver with Athlon 1.3GH and 1GB ram running ubuntu linux. I don't get that much traffic so I thought it wouldn't hurt to have it running all the time. I also noticed that it doesn't use that much CPU so it barely affect your work.
@lostcoz: I pulled the plug on my server by mistake yesterday. When I reloaded the program, it resumed where it left. Last edited by OpenLoop; Aug 28th, 2005 at 3:32 PM. |

It runs with a low priority, so technically it should only run when the CPU is not in use, and it should not interfere with your computer's primary fuction at all.
I've had a couple instances where it restarted, but mostly it will resume. |

Yeah, I'm not sure what the status of that is, whether it's in the works or not. Even if there isn't a screensaver per-se, every other OS has a visual at least. I'll check the forums and get back if I find anything.
