I am running the Seti thing since a while. First did it on Windoze, now I
run it on Mandrake 7.02. WIth my machine too it TOP's at 97%, and I run it
with "nice" at 19. I have not had any problems with it. I think if you do
not overclock your system and you have your cooling fan in place -and
working-, you're fine. My machine (P II - 400Mhz) does not complain.
