Oh, BTW, I'm running SETI again. CPU is running at 3.3GHz and SETI
at 100%. Core temps sit around 43�C constantly. I'm comfortable
with that. When BOINC started it benchmarked the CPU. 3180
floating point MIPs (Whetstone) per CPU and 7128 integer MIPs
(Dhrystone) per CPU. That's quite a bit higher than it was before
I overclocked it.

Very nice. I'm not near the Q6600 machine, but I think (from memory)
that one is around the 2400/6500 mark.

Ok, I was hoping for figures to give me some idea. It's just a shame
I've only got two cores. <g>

Just got home, re-ran the benchmarks two times, and I get:

2326 & 2328 floating point MIPS and 5332 & 5420 integer MIPS.

That's more what I expected with it running at 2.4GHz.

So I
was a bit optimistic, but keep in mind Diablo II was running in the
background (DCLone parking ;)), so I'm not sure how much influence
that has...

LOL. I was clone-sitting too! Still am in fact.

So averaging yours and multiplying by cores gives:

9308    21504

And mine:

6360    14256

So mine's roughly equal to three of your cores. <g>
