What processors are you using to get an average of 3hr 39min and 33.3sec
I use all AMD processors.
My fastest machine is an overclocked 1700+ that averages about 2hrs
13minutes per work unit - this one is my personal work computer and is used
12-16 hours a day in addition to crunching.
Have you done any validation of the results to be certain you're not
having FPU errors?
I build computers for a living and my policy is that every computer is run
for at least 24 hours before I'll sell it and they are running SETI for all
of that time.
That's six times what we did at the last place I worked; of course, we were
producing a few thousand a day...
The number of machines I have running varies but at this moment I have three
2600+ and a 2400+ online plus the 1700+. My actual average is around 2:50
right now but it's taking a long time to average down from the slower
computers I had in the past - my average drops about a minute per week.
What motherboard, memory configuration, and cooling setup do you use,
if you don't mind saying?
