    Yes, as a matter of fact, it does! Makes me think I might borg a buddy's older machine to run it. He's said he wouldn't mind doing DC, but doesn't have the necessary "ooomph" to do it himself. Hmmmm.

    Oh well, 200 WU's still to clear. Shouldn't take more than a day or two.

    Will give BigRed and Andy Brady a bit of a boost there & see if we can get the team score up a ways.

    Be warned, the WUs are miniscule and run in about 2 minutes on a Q6600. If you try to run a large cache then you will get so many that the whole machine bogs down but you need enough for a couple of days. The project frequently has problems but they seem to be short. They are still just running the test applications and no science is being done yet.
