Whoo! Good timing thread-wise, as I just hit the top 100 (currently #96) yesterday or today! Woulda been higher, except josephw (pinged b/c of etiquette) claimed to have a failed box but still ran way ahead of me that same day :-P

I have basically 6 boxes running FAH 24/7. I'd like to have a seventh, except it's an ancient 566mhz machine, and it wants something like 40 days to finish its current WU. It gets used maybe 3 hours a month, so it has plenty of time to work, but it seems it's too old to accomplish anything. Anyone have a suggestion for it to work through small WUs so it can actually contribute something the 99% of the time it's not being used?

As long as it finishes it's work units before the deadline, it will be helping, regardless of the size of those WU's. It's just more frustrating to have to wait for the WU's to finish. If it is missing the deadlines, you can request units without deadlines. I don't know if those are smaller, or not.
