I now have an 1.8 ghz p3 celeron (128k cache) which should be substantially slower than your machine, running vintage 2.6.20 linux. Unfortunately I forgot to turn on timestamp logging so I don't know how long it took to sync the chain, but it was less than two days as that was the span between when I checked on it. It's staying current just fine. Again, I encourage you to investigate your software configuration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
