Folding on slow computers

I'd forgotten that after many rebuilds I hadn't begun folding again. I'd been in the OcUK team quite a while ago but not recently.
I've installed FAH on my laptop which will add a few points a day, but my other main devices are an eeepc 701 and a new SFF rig which will only have a 1ghz VIA C3 cpu.

Has anyone else folded with these before? Is it worth it?
The C3 will be on 24/7 and the eeepc will be on during office hours.

not really - would cost you in electric with very little gain.

Well the thing is, they are going to be on anyway.

that maybe so, but your looking at 50ppd with the standard client at best, half that with some of the poor WU's

EDIT: I missed the word Laptop, no chance of GPU folding on x4 either.
