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?

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,

did you try the generic SSE2 ones or the Intel-only ones?

Any SSE3 versions or any of the ones saying Intel in front do not work on AMD chips (unless you use ICCPatch to patch away the CPUID checks).

I'm curious what the problem is that's keeping you from using my apps, since I'm running several XP64 and Server2003 X64 systems with them just fine.

The app I'm suggesting to try is:

Generic SSE2 optimized SETI@Home app

I've been running this version on my AMD hosts for quite a while (though recently I switched to a development version that will be released soon).
just installed it succesfully this time I think Give it an hour and three minutes and well know for sure
Alternatively, you could try this:

Automatic installer - Full package (Beta 1)

This is a small program that will try to run each optimized app on your system. If a specific app will not run for you, it'll tell you. At the end of the benchmark run, it will suggest an app to use and offer to install it for you (that is, if it manages to find your BOINC dir).

Regards,
Simon.

tjis is what I get

10/16/2006 5:18:23 PM|| 2475 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
10/16/2006 5:18:23 PM|| 4557 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU


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.

7,300 floating point MIPS (Whetstone)

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’?

go into boinc manager and click on advanced and run benchmarks then see what you get

Wow, My optys can't do much more than this:
Joker3 @ 2.36GHz(I'm upgrading to a pair of 275 cpus here[2.60GHz ea when overclocked], It now uses a 270 cpu)
10/13/2006 8:41:50 PM|| Number of CPUs: 2
10/13/2006 8:41:50 PM|| 4043 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
10/13/2006 8:41:50 PM|| 13126 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

Joker2 @ 2.63GHz(This one uses a 165 cpu)
10/13/2006 8:41:50 PM|| Number of CPUs: 2
10/13/2006 8:41:50 PM|| 4514 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
10/13/2006 8:41:50 PM|| 14646 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

damn wish mine could pull that off

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.
