Wow! My boss's computer can get through a full packet in about 7.5 hours.
My home computer finishes probably every 40 hours. I can't make the numbers
jive in my head. I built him a Dual pentium II 450, but at home I have a
Celeron 300. The dual PII 450 should be equivalent to less than a PII 900,
only 3 times faster, but he's 5 times faster... Is Celeron that bad?

So, I take it you are doing this SETI thing as a group? I've had it running
for a while at home, just recently joined this list.
