I installed the F@H client on my K62-266 and it is taking forever to do work units. My P4 2.4 is hauling ass. Is there some sort of chart that shows how long it takes for certain machines to do certain amounts of WU?

Also, how memory dependent is the client? I'm running it on a dedicated machine along with Overnet (my only broadband connected machine, I connect to it via dialup & VNC for easy access to demo's).

Thanks!
 
The client can use optimizations with SSE, SSE2, and 3Dnow. Your K6 probably lacks all of them. The P4 has the fastest. The WU have time limits and your K6 may not make them.
As shown here the preferred deadline is the one to pay attention to. This is the time before the WU is reissued, and after this it's not worth much to science.
The client is not very memory dependent, 128mb is about the minimum.
