Straight up - I believe there was once a thread about who's got the OLDEST machine running SETI, but tha doesn't equate to slowest. So fess up! Who's got the slowest unit ever!

You can still qualify for slowest unit ever if you were running multiple loads on the CPU, or had other circumstances around like not enough momery or whatever - what counts is the amount of time you saw in the SETI window.

Mine: 26 hours on an iMac 333.
Actual conversation between UCLA and Stanford during a login on early Internet - U: I'm going to type an L! Did you get an L? S: I got one-one-four. L! U:Did you get the O? S: One-one-seven. U: <types G> S: The computer just crashed.

107 hr (possibly more) on a Performa 6290/100. The 6290 no longer does SETI because the 32 MB chip went bad, and I put it on RC5 instead of buying new memory for it.
If you put a bullseye on yourself, don't be surprised when someone takes a shot at you.

My old Power Mac 6500 took about 32-33 hours under system 8.0 as I recall, but that was with the old clients that didn't do nearly as much science. I figure it would be at least double that with the current clients.

Power Center 150 takes about 125 hours under OS 8.1 It was hell on my average, when it actually turned a unit in. It runc RC5, now.

I've hit 32 hours on a workunit on my iMac 266 *sighs*

It too has also been put to work on the RC5 project.
