There have been many studies about how the s@h could benefit from either cpus. Some have called in amd others have called in intel.

What I have learned thru the years is that a "large" L2 cache really does the trick.

Test have shown that a smaller cpu with a larger L2 chache, can get as much work done as a faster cpu with a smaller L2 cache.

The Prescot really does it both

This is easily proven in CPDN WUs. I have a 2.4G HT, and a 1.8G P4, and the 1.8G has a lot larger L2 Cache, and is doing to WU in a little faster time. So, for the larger WU it can be better cached, and worked on a lot faster.

Hmmm, strange. Here in Germany the 630,boxed,3Ghz is about 46EUR more than the 530J, boxed.
If you take the cost for a whole PC (roughly about 400-500), the difference isn't really that much.

I have the socket 478 version of the Prescott 3.0 GHz, and it's a hyperthreading processor. Is yours not? This machine manages two workunits in 12,000 seconds...

No, BOINC runs two seti's :) because BOINC sees a system with a HT processor as a system with two processors...

Since B52 is on Win98, he won't be able to use HT.

You're right, i didn't examine his machine good enough. I honestly didn't expect a Prescott running an OS that doesn't support HT.. but some do, as this shows. :)
I myself had problems finding drivers for mainboard and peripherals for windows versions prior to XP...

Yep. I first wanted to suggest to get a cheap Winnt CD on ebay, but I've
no idea if it will run OK with his hardware.

Regards Hans

P.S:

Linux is another option of course....

Congats! to you for your new pc.As excesive heat is a problem may I suggest a good heat pipe cooling system.I slapped in a fairly inexpensive one and dropped the temp by 20 degrees C.And it's alot quieter than high powered fans.
