Hello

I am interested to know the time it takes to achieve a result in Boinc Seti.

What computer configurations do you use to run Boinc. Following is a list of items to be listed.

1) CPU ?
2) Motherboard ?
3) Memory ?
3) OP System ?
4) Boinc Software Rev? Is it optimised ?
5) Time taken to complete one work unit?

Cheers
Bill

He has a few listed in the 1 hour range so he's probably using the low figure for his results, the majority of them are in the 90 min to 120 min range though.

1 hr. 45 min. per unit ??? The original question that was asked is misleading. I'll bet you can do two units in 1 hr. 45 min. (if you use 100% of the CPU - using hyper-threading)).

NeoAmsterdam: Check your Systems Preferences/Energy Saver: Options Tab. Look about 2/3 of the way down the window. I'll bet your Processor Performance is set to Automatic or Reduced, and not to Highest. (Wording may be slightly different in Tiger - I still have 10.3.9) My new iBook was set up at Reduced when I bought it. Took me a couple of WU to notice the poor performance.
