Hi,

I've found a page where the opteron processor has been benchmarked with seti@home :-D http://www.amdzone.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1315

Thought some of you might be intrested ;-)

Interesting read. However, if I convert the times given by SETI at the completion of a WU I get a best time of 10,071.8 seconds. 2 hours 47 minutes 51.8 seconds. I am using the Windows Screensaver version with the screensaver set to blank the screen.

My computer is an ASUS a7n8x dlx v2.0 running a Barton 2500+ o'clocked to 2.08GHz.

How accurate is the SETI timekeeping function?
