I have an old Pentium II Pro folding. It takes like 2 weeks to finish a Tinker. Do you guys think its worth the electricity its using?

    IMO, no. you could build a much newer, more efficient machine that would use the same amount of electricity. (hey, reasoning to build another box.)
    I've got 4 sub 1ghz. machines I can't justify running just for the cost of the electricity. (that and the quad 500 is just to freakin loud!)

    If the machine is doing double duty as a DHCP server or something like that then there is no harm in letting it Fold, too. If the only reason you have it running is for Folding then I'd have to agree with Donut. Stash away the $4 a month you'll save in electricity and get an eBay special on a MB and CPU.

    Cool Thanks for the input guys. It is serving files, but only because it is on 24/7 for folding. This folds even less than my xbox, so I think it has to go. Your help has been most appreciated.
