That seems like a great set-up. However, I bet if you spent $1,000 every year for 11 years, you would have a lot more crunching power at the end of 11 years. The way computers are progressing with speed and all aspects of the computer. Prices are dropping all the time. Who knows what will be possible in 3 years? Maybe you have other reasons for purchasing this computer besides SETI? But than again,…maybe you can afford to spend $11,500 every few years on a computer? |

That seems like a great set-up. I can't even imagine what computers will do in 3 years. We think what is out there now is fast. LOL Heck, I still got an old 400mhz, no hard drive, sitting doing nothing. One day I'll buy a small hard drive off of ebay, throw it in, and see if I can't figure out linux on it. :-) ![]() |

Randy, the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

no &*^ thought when I bought this it was the best mmulitasking machine you could get now they got better ones the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

And as soon as you buy one of those Better One's, It will be Obsolete as soon as your card is Charged! ![]() . . . IMO:the Intel Core 2's are Reining Kings at the Moment! ![]() |

don't use credit use cash the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

tjis is what I get My (older) stock G5 quad gets this: Measured floating point speed 1361 million ops/sec Measured integer speed 4507.56 million ops/sec Not sure of the impact for each of the values, fp vs int. The new Xeon 51xx Mac Pros are getting in excess of 2400 fp 7100 int (I think those are the scores of the 3ghz versions which start around $3300.) If you hadn't noticed, macs have "pwned" the top computers list for some time, and the new Mac Pros (w/ alexkan's wicked optimized application) are turning it into total domination.

Hey Checkout Jedi Mstr's #'s <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Friggin Off the Chart>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> . ![]() 7,300 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) 9,100 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) ![]() |

now that's a nice machine the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

this is what I get 10/16/2006 11:24:05 PM|| 2484 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 10/16/2006 11:24:05 PM|| 4563 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

Hey Checkout Jedi Mstr's #'s That reminds me of something I saw the other day … Quad G5, #4 on the Top Computers page: Measured floating point speed 7014.48 million ops/sec Measured integer speed 21281.03 million ops/sec Aside from having four CPUs instead of two, the system looks very similar to my dual-core G5, which shows 1249.14 MFlops / 4021.61 MIps at the moment. How is it possible to get numbers six times faster? There’s nothing in its results’ output messages that indicates a custom BOINC client that might boost the benchmarks. Are there such that don’t have a ‘signature’? ![]() |

Hey Checkout Jedi Mstr's #'s go into boinc manager and click on advanced and run benchmarks then see what you get the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

Hey Checkout Jedi Mstr's #'s damn wish mine could pull that off the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

if seti don't crash anytime soon I should be able pull a RAC of 1,800-1,900 the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |

This might just be me, and dont get me wrong. I love computers. But if I had $11,000 to spend I would use it on a car, or house. Atleast that would hold its value MUCH longer then any PC you purchase today. |

I think the mac machines that have ~3x benchmarks are running an alternative BOINC client. I don't think it makes ay difference for credits earned with SETI. Dublin, California Team: SETI.USA ![]() |

This might just be me, and dont get me wrong. I love computers. you have 65 computers that probably cost more than what I got now the universe is to big to just have life on one planet |
