Ah, ok. I ended up putting all of my available computers that aren't already
doing something on your project. Hopefully it helps a little bit, here is what I
have so far on the username MoD:

Athlon XP 2.5GHz w/ 512mb hash
Athlon XP 2.5GHz w/ 128mb hash
Athlon XP 1.6GHz w/ 128mb hash
Athlon TB 1.2GHz w/ 256mb hash
Celeron-2 1.0GHz w/ 128mb hash

Also I was wondering about something... Would you be able to add a benchmark
mode into your current client, that way we can do some speed testing between the
various cpus? Thanks.
