Slow 1800XP F@H

Was just looking through my PC's that doing F@H that i cannot acess through FahMon.

I noticed one (a 1800 XP 512MB PC2100) is taking ages to complete a WU, the WU is a 2381, 677 pointer. loaded up FahMon locally on it and It says it was downloaded 11th Feb and still has 4 days, 7hrs (57%)

I'm thinking that there is something ell wrong with that and i need to spend some time having a look. There is nothing else other than Zonealarm running (doing a virus scan once a week) on it.

It is on 24/7. CPU is at 36c
Is this about right or is this PC well off the mark.. any advice?

Major, that fahlog.txt looks just fine to me. Look through your benchmarks and tell us which projects give you the best ppd. I'm willing to bet that they'll all be Tinkers.

It doesn't seem that PC has done any tinkers, so what i do to get that PC on Tinkers?

Who on earth came up with the name "tinkers"

Cheers BigStan,

Really need to gut it and install a better CPU & Motherboard combo. This is the slowest machine in my collection. Bit skint at the mo though
