I have a e6300 that has missed the final deadline today on a 3062 SMP WU. This computer is on 24 hours a day, the only explaination for it being late has to be that I use it fairly heavily for 9 hours during weekdays. I'll be upgrading it to a e6550 shortly, hopefully that will give it the little extra ommph that it needs.
Anyway, I read on another thread that supposedly: "After the final deadline has expired, the client will automatically discard the work unit and download new work." Well... that hasn't happened. My client continues to chug merrily along. Should I just stop it and force it to get a new work unit? I figure the answer is yes but I'm new at this so I figure it can't hurt to ask the experts here.
Thanks for your insight and knowledge!
