The off topic was ok, i got it working when i installed 2.7

The 2.04 on a celeron 500 with 64MBof ram it took 45 hours. now that was with it only running as a screen saver, and it was always doing the graphics, i never had it set to blank.

On the same system with 2.7 with it running all the time with the screen set to blank after 0 minutes it says its going to take 18 hours.

I read that the fsb speed is a large factor in the preformance, because the data blocks are a bit too big to the cache, so it does alot of bus transfers.
