I have a 550 P3 here.... and i was thinking about reloading it and getting it folding.
The long and short of it is that this could take a bit of work. Memory could be bad, etc, but I'd like to get another box up now that I've suddenly turned 180 degress and am now an insomniac. I have a ton of energy this past week and I'd liek to use it while I can.
SO I put it to you..... is a 550 crapper even worth my time or would the time be better spent gathering parts to build a P4 / AMD box with a lot more ooomph to it?
May take a few weeks to get the newer box together, but the crapper may not have even posted a WU by then if the current WU are as intensive (even the low pointers) as they are looking.
Ordered a Sempron 2800+ PC for the kids of geeks.com today. It'll be here soon so I'll have that posting numbers soon enough. Still just have this urge to create something......
