My Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHz 266MHz DDR FSB(133 x 2), not sure how much
cache it has, says it'll take 4:56:11 for all my uncompleted units but the
last 3 completed have taken almost the
same times of about 5:30.

I have 796MB of RAM and this machine is on all day, but off at night cause
it's too loud to sleep with ;)
BOINC performed a second benchmark this morning before starting processing,
but I don't know why.  Maybe it does this every now and then to try and
adjust it's calculations.

I have a G4 Sawtooth Mac running on the CLI version for OS X, which doesn't
have a GUI, but if I find a GUI that tells me how long it's supposed to take
for each unit I'll post that too.  I did notice however that on the
benchmark performed at the start was higher than the Athlon at the same CPU
frequency.
G4 specs are 1.4GHz CPU upgrade daughter card, 100MHz FSB and RAM and 896MB
of RAM on OS X 10.3.4.
It has 256KB L2 cache at 1.4GHz and 2MB L3 cache at about 280MHz(1/5 CPU
frequency).

I am interested in how long the time listed in the "To Completion" column

is

for different machines and the specs of those machines.

Four I have here are:

Athlon T'bred @ 2.1Ghz 256KB 200MhzFSB 512MB      3:03:48
Athlon Barton @ 2.2Ghz 512KB 200MhzFSB 512MB      2:53:17
Celeron1 600 @ 900Mhz 128KB 100MhzFSB 256MB     8:15:11
Celeron2 900 @ 900Mhz 128KB 100MhzFSB 384MB     7:23:16

However, the top machine (3:03:48) has 22 units completed at the moment

and

only one took over three hours (3:06:31). The average of the units it has
listed at the moment is 2:43:00 or thereabouts, the fastest 2:20:56. BOINC
is underestimating that machine at present. Celeron1 only has two units in
it's completed state at the moment and that took 8:51:32 and 8:24:11 so it
took a little longer than estimated. Celeron2 has five units and is
averaging 10 hours, 33% longer than estimated. It is playing mp3s all day
but not at night and it's on 24/7 and the units are consistantly around 10
hours, day and night. Both Celerons are on BX boards but different
brands/models. (The Barton is turned off, the girlfriend has gone to bed).

I'm mainly interested in the CPU specs and the estimated times though.
Anyone want to share?

Also, I've completed about 50+ units at least and have only been credited
for one of them, about five days ago. (37.38) I've checked the site when
I've been able to several times over the last few days and a lot of the
other units have three results reported and have done for a while. Wassup
with that?

Cheers,
