I guess that's an emulation mode or something like vmware for it?

As of this morning, I only have 2 Nano wu's left go, then those extra cycles will be on Pi. They are running on dual core boxes.
The bad news is last night my laptop smokedI think (fan locked up) , and an Intel box shut down for unknown reasons. I think the Intel box will live again.

Soapbox rant:
You can build one yourself for about the same. It depends if you like building or not.
A am2 4200+ box should cost about 430-500 depending on prices. with no os, on board video, 1 g ram, small sata hd, generic dvd.
Or just use parts from around the basement, I do that for dvd and HD. Too much stuff laying around.
You won't be able to game (maybe light weight games) with it, unless you buy a video card.
Crunching and Gaming are 2 different build directions. I crunch with my game (BF2142) box. I cannot game with a cruncher. My gamer cost $1000, cruncher $450.
When you build, you get what you want in the box (and you may pay more). Sometimes 'off the shelf' is no a bad thing. Different strokes...
Hope this helps.
*** Note: You can still get for FREE, Windoze x64 Trial software. I use this on Both of my AM2 X2 Boxes. I think it's good for 120 days?? I last paid around $80 for x64 retail. Caution!! There is NO UPGRADE path to Vista for x64.

No big deal with the laptop. It was a freebie (and old). I will have to replace it now. That will be spendy.

Alright then, I found that EON takes processing power away from the Systems to crunch PI Segment, so now I am just running Dimes and PI.
And since I have at my access someone else's computer I borg'd that too. I should be able to reach for 150 credits a day, I hope.
Fingers are crossed !
The Snowstorm puts a damper on seeing clients, I got up at 4:30AM and started the Snow Blowing exercise. I got out just in time to drive to a business meeting/Breakfast. It is called devotion...
Oh We got 10 inches of the White stuff and the wind has whipped up today to drift shut all the roads they opened this morning.
Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
