I am running it on two different systems here. when it is running in the background, waiting for screen saver or I am doing something else, I have not noticed any lost in speed. I put it on when I am not using the system or let the screen saver function take over. On a 5x86 133MHz(win95), it has yet to finish the first block of data, its been running for 496 hours and its now near 96%. This system is used all the time and has 32 meg ram. On the pent 200 MHz system(Win98) it has finished 7 blocks or data averaging 56 hours each block, that system has 128 meg ram and is used by walk in traffic for internet use, or recording real audio files. Both seem to work well with it in the background. I will be not using the 5x86 system after this run as it is too slow for seti use. We will be give a p166 MHz system with 16 meg ram a try with linux next to see how well that works. dale Woden wrote in message ... >I'm running it at work on NT4 Workstation (P2 350 Dual, ~200Mb RAM) and it >takes about 12 hours to >complete a data set.
