using chickens opt client on both

amd 4200 x2, 0.518
intel 3GHz HT, 0.333


interesting that the amd is alot higher...also, the benchs for the amd are alot lower on chicken app, than previously..


Cheers.


UPDATE. July 20th

They are now
amd 4200 x2, 0.468
intel 3GHz HT, 0.415


UPDATE. August 11th

AMD 4200 X2, 0.558

The 2 pcs i referred to were stock.

All other applications were disable.

Same memory used, plus same timings, all hardware the same before and after install. More cache, less performance?.

If its per cpu, its still less when added up.

so why are they so high on one persons pc compared to another that is supposedly faster?.

Each time i run mine it varies by very little. When i see people with slower processors and double the benchs it makes absolutely no sense at all.


Using a 3200 x64 i used to get 4000/9000+ for the benchs, now i have a 4200 x2 i get 2100/3900. If this has no relevance to seti, why is it still in there?, and why isnt there a bench that is relevant?.

Looking at your Pcs and their benchmarks makes no sense at all. Are the 3500s the 3200 overclocked?.

Your sons 217fsb is why hes creaming you. I dont overclock my pcs anymore, but when i used to, it would decrease time per wu by quite a bit.

I dont want to see the graphics though.


How come on one install it works, and the other it doesnt?.

No one is making you see them. Its a choice.




Was simply pointing out that the program didnt seem to be working as it is supposed to.

Nice comment though.

BOINC can be installed in any of several modes:
Single-user installation
This is the recommended mode. BOINC will run while you (the installing user) are logged in.

BOINC is listed in the Start menu of the installing user, but not other users.

The 'Show graphics' command in the BOINC manager works only for the installing user. The BOINC screensaver only shows application graphics only for the installing user (other users can run the screensaver but will see textual information only).

Shared installation
BOINC runs whenever any user is logged in.

BOINC is listed in the Start menu of all users.

While BOINC is running, it runs as a particular user (either the first user to log in, or the first to run BOINC). The 'Show graphics' command in the BOINC manager works only for this user. The BOINC screensaver shows application graphics only for this user (other users can run the screensaver but will see textual information only).

Service installation
BOINC runs all the time (even when no one is logged in).

BOINC is listed in the Start menu of the installing user, but not other users.

The 'Show graphics' command in the BOINC manager will not work for any user. The BOINC screensaver will only show textual information.



I stopped using optimized a month or more ago..

Hi There.


Recently added boinc/seti to another pc, installed as service only so no graphics etc.. I have been running it a few days and have just clicked display graphics, and it does. On my other pc, it works fine.

Post:
This is why you should get 1 credit per thousand secs processing time, this would mean that people who took 80,000 secs and only did 1 wu (old p3 spec) would get the same as someone who took 80,000 secs and did 20 wu!.


Means people are less likely to feel they have to upgrade to newest spec pcs, and also means that older pcs are just as important as new ones.
