Interesting page. My system is pretty much identical to the guy in
position
18. Identical CPU/FSB/RAM amount/speed. (Tbred 2.1Ghz, 200Mhz FSB/RAM
512MB) How do you benchmark? Is it an average of a certain amount of
units or what?

No, it's the time needed for processing a standarized WU. Have a look
here:

You can download the WU from this site...

Thanks, might give it a try sometime.

 I see everyone is using CLI 3.03, how can I tell if that's what I'm
using? I used "Easy SETI CLI" to install mine. Maybe I'd get better
results just letting the machine run SETI alone for a while, leave it
on overnight or something. My times vary from (in the last 20 units)
2.098hrs to 3.265hrs (all completed). The fastest time for a
completed unit in the log is
1.857hrs, last month. The log goes back to Dec 23rd last year and
there are a few units that completed in under two hours.

Yes, it's interesting. Especially with the lots of non-x86 systems as
a comparison.

But how can I tell whether I'm using CLI 3.03? That seems to be the fastest
client.
