	I brought a new Q6600 machine on line about this time last Monday night so it has been cruching for one week now. It has already generated 17,684 credits (along with the 3000+ it has added to pending) in that one week. I haven't even thought yet about overclocking. This is still at the stock 2.4 GHz. It has already passed 4 of my other machines in total credit all of which have been crunching since August. This may not be a big surprise to those that already have Q6600's (or even more powerful systems) but I am still amazed. I knew that my little gentleman's farm was made up of some pretty old machinery but they continued to toil tirelessly. Even with the new equipment on the farm, I don't think that I could bring myself to put any of those old work horses out to pasture.

	Wonder when I can get one of these to crunch with, Sunâ€™s 16-core Niagara 3 chip? ____________

	Would be interesting, though I think the UltraSPARC isn't designed to handle floating point ops well. The T2 has only one FPU unit for each core, which means it has to be shared between eight threads. ____________

The T2 has only one FPU unit for each core, which means it has to be shared between eight threads. That's correct. Sun's UltraSPARC was designed with a great ALU and not-so-great FPU as I believe they are focusing on the web server, application server and database server markets, all of which don't need much in the way of an FPU. ____________ BOINC FAQ Service BOINC & Optimized SETI download repository
