Mine takes about 15 minutes per WU, it all depends on the computer it is running on.

EDIT: Somehow the program just manages to use >100% of my CPU, I think that may have been a bad reading. I also managed to do a WU in 4 minutes!!! Should I be worried by that (I have a 2ghz pentium-m processor).

How the heck did we get 200 new clients in one day !?!

Did someone advert this somewhere with high traffic, or on TV or the radio?

Or maybe some IT puzzle-hunter installed it on ALL the computers at this workplace. If so, try not to get yourself fired over this! Laughing

I'm using two different machines. One is a AMD Athlon 64 w/1GB RAM and XP Pro. I can crank through a WU in 10 minutes almost to the second. The other is a P4 2GHz with 512 MB RAM. It takes 20 minutes to burn through a WU.

Thanks Flynn Smile

I wouldn't have even thought to try that, I was *assuming* that the client acted as a singleton process. I'll fire up a second client when I get home.

is that 400 new clients today? And nearly 500,000 units? i dont really understand this but yay thats good isnt it Very Happy

i think its gone up by like 0.15% too....

a question... if YOU find it, will it tell the person "in charge"? and will it come up on your screen in big flashing letters (cos that would be uber cool)?

I was wondering about that too. Say someone found the correct Key, would the program tell them? Because if we found it but the program just kept on going it would be kind of pointless. Razz

But how would the client know if your key was The One?

We have no clue what the output is supposed to be. If we did, this card would be solved already. Smile
