Centrinos are nice for SETI!

[Logan[TeamX]]

Well... I have to say it: I've been impressed by an Intel processor!

The Centrino 1.5GHz I have to give up today has been rock solid over the last few days, doing over 50 WUs in 5 days! It averages about 500MFlops/second according to multiple random checks with SETIWatch, and I don't doubt that for a second.

It goes to its new owner today :( but it did its duty well for me! I hope I can afford to get a laptop with one of these fine processors inside soon!

LOL I am I am! I'm in the middle of an alliance conflict! LOL

*rocks back and forth* AMD is good, but so is Intel? I'm so confused! *rocks back and forth some more*

*Men come with straightjackets... use three for now, leave more on the floor...*

Jezus it's of to CBh's house for you if ya don't shape up! ;)

SiSoft Sandra sait my comp is 3000Mflops! Moooohhaaahahah
:D :t

[Logan[TeamX]]

Yeah but SiSoft's numbers are off by a multiplier of 10. Better yet... know that my XP1800+ @1690 MHz sustains 300 MFLOPS/second as well, as reported by SETI Watch.

If you have a P4 2.8 GHz, doesn't it have Hyper-Threading? Why not run 2 instances of SETI from 2 different directories? You'll increase your output significantly. That's only if you have the 800 FSB. If you have the 533 FSB (Northwood "B" core), you're SOL then.

[cwin]

no :( 533MHz :(

Weeellll, just got setiwatch installed, and it says 525 mflops. Yet oddly enough, this is one of the slowest WUs i get. They are normally at about 40% on setihide, but this one is only 30%
:confused:

[j.m@talk]

Seti watch ...... umm sounds like a girls proggy to me......... :p

[Logan[TeamX]]

Well by comparison, I have 2 2.4 GHz Dell OptiPlex GX260T workstations, both running the 3.03 CLI and SETI Driver. They both average about 3:15-3:30 for most workunits. So you should be in the near 3:00 WU time yourself.

I just damewared into the house, and checked the 20 someodd workunits I did while my cable modem was down. 6 were under 3:00 on the XP1800, and the rest were 3:15-3:25.

[cwin]

Yup... about 2:50 - 3:00 normally. Sometimes the odd 2:00-2:30 :D

This thread is rapidly descending into "Sadds Ville" :eek:

Be careful! Ill bite ya :p

Back to your housework! :r :D :t
