Isn't 1.50" hours fast enough?
I have a p4 2.4 GHz (without HT), it takes about three and a half hours to complete a WU.
I'm not sure if the command line version is faster. I also have a PIII, which runs on both Win XP and Ubuntu Linux. Under XP it takes around 7 hours
to complete a WU, while under linux (thus with the command line version) it takes 9 hours... So depending on your OS, the command line version can
actually be slower.
The best thing you can do is to format your P4-520, and completely re-install of WinXP (or linux), and only install seti on it (and a few other
programs you might need).
You can download a whole bunch of WU's at once so your computer doesnt need to be online all the time, this way you dont have to install a firewall,
or virus scanner, which slows down your PC.
