I just added Windows XP to my Mac Mini single core intel computer. Here are the stats provided by seti for each OS.

the following numbers are in million ops/sec

OS, floating, integer

XP Home, 1351, 2819,
OSX 10.4.6, 1196, 3344,
OSX 10.4.5*, 392, 641,

* This is the same computer running OSX. The difference was that the faster numbers were acheived using the Universal seti binary located at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?dev=1

Pretty wild, very cool test Greg!

:)

* I LIKE THE RESULTS TOO...

(It's ironic that XP outperforms MacOS X, on its OWN native machine platform too no less, will wonders NEVER cease!)

APK

P.S.=> What is this "Seti Universal Library"? I don't see it on the d/l page, but then again, I just woke up & NO COFFEE YET (My brain requires it... lol!)... apk
