I have let the 2950 run for a little while now. Boy is that thing inconsistent. I have tried a couple of projects on it with some success. HCC ran the first two jobs in 6 hours which I thought was awfully slow, but then it settled down and ran most of the rest between 1 and 2 hours, a few in less than an hour. Why ? I don't know. I have tried some CEP2 on it and they have run pretty well except for a power blip which caused errors. However, it grants anywhere between 80 and 280 points for a job. On my other systems on which I run this project it shows great consistency because the jobs generally run a consistent time. I don't really care about the points but am mighty curious about the wide disparity. It must drive my wingmen crazy. If it does not become consistent I will probably try to upgrade the OS from Linux Mint 12 to 13 and see if that provides more stability. I haven't ever had a system that varies this much. Eventually I will upgrade the processors to quads, but that is another story.

Cheers

You got a better deal than me. Mine is stand alone, no other services from comcast. Does the $40 include the phone, or is that extra, becasue I paid $149 for two years of an IP Phone.
