11) Sethan 7500

7500 WU and 8198 posts. Hmmm.... I think I know how to get a few more WUs out of Sethan's machine

Well A few notes... Lost several thousand units due to a slip up with the Queue.

Oh well...

Broke the 100 Year barrier for processing time for Seti WUs!!!

I too think I am going to try to get my Post total more inline with my WU total...

Wonder how long it would take to post 160,000 messages...

Maybe if I hire Sirgod and Sethan fulltime.

Does anybody know if Brian Kinney changed his Seti nickname to KD4?

Brian disappeared from the group, and KD4 showed up at the same time, with about the right number of WUs.

Well If I did hire ya I doubt anyone would notice that you were posting for me (except for an increase in volume of those posts). We have oft been "on the same side of the coin". Maybe that is why Atra dislikes us so...

Now as for SIrgod... I would have to clean up that "Okey accent" a bit...

The servers seem to be down this AM and a useless bump to the top of the list.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of joining your group!

I've only got 1 PC and I can't run it 24/7 but it is a 2800 XP (barton core) running at 333Mhz with 1GB of RAM and I can crank out a WU in 3 hours, (command line version). What's the fastest you guys have done a WU on your PC, (or fastest PC if you have a network)?

Give me a while to set-it up, (I don't have any WU's to carry over though so I will have to start from 0).

Hey, welcome to the group!

Work Units can vary quite a bit in the length it takes to process them. I've seen WUs take less than 2 hours, and then WUs take more than 5 hours, on the same machine, with the same load.

It's just the way it is.

Ah ok. Well, I've signed up to Taldren now so I guess I'll keep an eye on my average WU time.

Impressive group stats I might add. You guys have processed more WU's than the whole of Egypt put together! W00t!!!

Lurker · « **Reply #577 on:** October 25, 2003, 04:21:55 pm »

Hmmm...2 hours 41 mins for my first WU. I think I'm pleased with that.

It would be nice to see how that compares with Pentium 4's, with or without Hyperthreading.

Maximum PC did benchmarks on th first A64 machines this month 2.2 ghz A64- 55fx; 105 minutes, 3.2 ghz P4c 133 minutes, 2.2 ghz Athlon XP; 136.7 minutes. Don't know about the family scalability speedwise but it is likely the second and third gen chips will be much faster. I'm waiting for them to support nonparity memory (in the works) or for parity memory to become more available and hence less expensive. But I will get one eventually.

WU's done = 6

Average time = 2 hr 16 min 33.9 sec
