I've been classic-ing for a couple of months on this new beast. It's a
3.2 Mhtz D. I'm averaging 24 WUs a day, 12 in each core. Is that about

No it seems slow...turn off the screen saver!

Never had it on in 6+years.

Does the machine run
24/7/365 more or less.

Yes.

People on Boinc are saying that they are
getting around 50 or so a day thru this type machine. You don't have
the P D840EE do you?

No. It's not Extreme Edition.

That can run 4 per core because it has HT.

I think that's 2 per core x 2 cores = 4.

TaskInfo 2000 shows that, apart from the odd blip from SETIDriver &
SETISpy, and perhaps an odd Explorer blip, the two SETI instances are
at 50% each all the time. I even kill the pesky svchost instance that
Internet Explorer starts, and which consumes less than 1%, after every
web session.
