Trouble is I don't like long running tasks. Even the BOINC QMC tasks are boring me to tears and they are about a day or so to run. BBC and Climate Prediction take too long. They need to learn how to break up the boredom like they do with the SOB project. Crunching for Sierpinski numbers is very slow, especially on Athlon XPs, but at least the Seventeen or Bust application allows you to report intermediate steps in the process. This gives the illusion that you are achieving some progress. In reality the job still takes 7+ days on a fast P4 and around 2 weeks on an XP3200+.

Cannot say how long an A64 3500 takes as Doomeva has sunk it into The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

/EDIT: Steve that KWSN page is interesting. The way I interpret that means that my contribution to AMD Users team stats is 107th rank in the team? Wow I thought I had a few GHz running on BOINC. WHat the hell do the other 106 of you have? 8 way Opterons running 24/7?
