That's over a 5 times speed increase! Admittedly it runs Linux, so it's fast anyway, but still, THANK YOU! ID: 197857 ·

Crunch3r has some fast builds for AMD too. I've not bothered updating my site with the new clients as Crunch3r beat me to it with the static builds :) Ned * My Guide to Compiling Optimised BOINC and SETI Clients * * Download Optimised BOINC and SETI Clients for Linux Here * ID: 198001 ·

And is there an overall comparison somewhere for which optimised client is fastest for what hardware? (I'll admit that I've now lost track of all the rapid advances! Excellent stuff and exactly what Open Source and peer review is all about!!!) ((Or is that really Naparst Review?... ;-) )) Regards, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 198086 ·

General rule of thumb at present is that Harold's page has the fastest clients for Intel chips and Crunch3r's page has the fastest clients for AMD chips.
