I am building dedicated units to run SETI and was wondering which processor gives the highest RAC/$. Also, is the amount of memory important? My best unit so far is a Q6600 w 512MB, running about 1900 RAC. I paid $277 for the processor, but I see other people getting better results with the less expensive quad Zeons. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Bill |

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Better to take your query to the number crunching forum as that's where the majority of the number chaser are to be found. |
