It's about what I'd expect using the stock app, yes. Will Alex's optimized OSX apps work on the Mac Pro? Machine Name: Mac Pro Machine Model: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz T |

Yep. Use the C2D version....and watch your RAC sky rocket! Dublin, California Team: SETI.USA |

Thanks, so far I can only find Alex's G4 and G5 apps via this site. T |

1) Quit BOINC 2) Download the application 3) Extract the files from the download, and copy them into /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu Answer "yes" if it asks if you want to replace. 4) Restart BOINC Dublin, California Team: SETI.USA |

I have a fairly new T7600 iMac (2.33ghz), which today hit a RAC best of 2176. It's a daily working machine (nothing too strenuous, just email, Well lets start of with the fact that you are running I count 36 projects...you have everything on your machine except kitchensink@home. I'm NOT SURPRISED in the least that you are only pulling 400 RAC personally I'm running a quad 3Ghz Mac Pro an my RAC is usually around 2400-2450 while I have seen it get to as high as 2800 RAC when the machine is not being used on a daily basis for work. Of course this is a work machine so it only gets to crunch about 80% of the time give or take as work dictates. I'm toying with the Idea of adding a Mac Mini cluster in but I'm not sure how the app would run when it's being redistributed amongst the processors and I may get more bang for the buck by just running it on each machine separately as a farm. Something to toy with and contemplate. |

2176 of RACs by a single machine? How is that possible? I have a 2.8 GHz dual-core Pentium D and my highest RAC is about 400. What's wrong? No kidding. Many of the alpha/beta projects have a much lower validation rate. Testing is their point after all.

Ouch! My Quad G5 got up to 2900, and it's a daily worker too. You *really* need to install alexkan's C2D application...immediately! Also, join Team MacNN. =;^) I'm toying with the Idea of adding a Mac Mini cluster in but I'm not sure how the app would run when it's being redistributed amongst the processors and I may get more bang for the buck by just running it on each machine separately as a farm. Something to toy with and contemplate. This has come up a lot on all the major BOINC boards. The general consensus is that the overhead of splitting and distribution of WUs will just slow things down. Better to have a lot of hosts, and manage them via something like BAM.

Zombie is there a good how to out there for swaping the app and client to Alex's optimized app? I have very recently become interested in running his app and have downloaded it but I havent seen anything that tells how to swap it out or install it in Bonic. Any info would be good...I really dont care about graphics...I prefer the raw power/speed. |

Any info would be good...I really dont care about graphics...I prefer the raw power/speed. Just look for my post a few messages earlier in this thread. Very simple instructions.
