My Barton 2500 is overclocked to 2800 speed. I usually complete a unit
in around 3 hours and a few minutes (4,5,6). This morning I got up and
checked the progress of Seti Classic and the work unit was complete
but Seti couldn't send or receive data.

After a few minutes checking server status, I looked at the time it
took to complete the last unit and it stated 1 hour 28 minutes and
26.9 seconds. This is extraordinarily fast for my setup. What makes
the difference between units, especially such a drastic difference?

I'm running the GUI Classic on an Asus A7N8X Dlx, FSB 166, Barton
2500+ running at 2.08Ghz (2800+ equivalent), with 512MB of PC-2700.

IIRC seti sometimes sends out "test" units that will complete in a
faster than normal time as well as units that are full of noise.

So as long as your O/C is stable then do not worry.

HTH

I wasn't worried, just interested. ;-) The computer is extremely stable. If it was a "test" unit, they can send me more of them so that I can lower my average time for completion. Thanks for your comments.
