Hi guys, just got my new system set up. Stock Q9450 (2.67GHz) on Windows XP x86 SP3: 350s/WU I'll probably switch to Vista x64 at some point, see what difference that makes. Play too many games to use Linux on a daily basis, sorry :P |

Hi guys, just got my new system set up. Why stock? My guess is at least 3.6 ghz on a good board. Regarding my previous post regarding the Abit SLI board, this thing has the latest bios and it is clueless as to what to do with a Q6600. Switched the Q to a Gigabyte p965 board and it is running smooth as silk. Dumped a dual core into the Abit, and it still struggles. The Abit may be a great board for most, but the one I got is an electronic embarrassment. You do know that you can dual boot with Linux and that Redmond product. Boot to Linux to crunch in 64 bit, boot to the "other" to gamo. Voltron |

Why stock? My guess is at least 3.6 ghz on a good board. I fully intend to overclock it; sorry, should've made that clear. But right now I'm broke, on stock cooling, and short on time ;) I'll overclock it, but I'm in no rush at the moment. As for dual booting, that's an option I guess, but I think I'd be switching around quite a bit, considering I do a lot of DirectX programming as well. (not to mention some GLSL stuff that's very easy to test in windows) |

oh,my best box Q6600 at 3.4gig is only doing 305s :( Q6600 at 3.2gig is 325s X2 at 2.8gig is 320s :) All with Linux. |

Just thought i'd add my 20cents worth. 1. Amd 6000+ stock 3Ghz 220 secs 2. Intel Q6600 @3.15Ghz 260 secs 3. Intel 9450 @3.00Ghz 160 secs 4. Intel Q6600 @2.40Ghz 315 secs 5. Amd 5200+ @2.60Ghz 256 secs All running linux 8.04 6. Amd 5200+ @2.60Ghz 360 secs 7. Intel Q6600 @2.40Ghz 500 secs running doze xp |

iMac G3/333MHz tray loader, OSX 10.3, 4805 sec. Hmm, I thought I'd be able to top (or bottom) that with my 300MHz Celeron (Covington, no L2 cache) with Ubuntu Hardy (command line). No luck - it took 3,982.77 seconds. Might have to try the kids' 166MHz Pentium MMX... Nah! Join the #1 Aussie Alliance on MilkyWay! |

Oh, go on, you'll probably make the top low score ;) I tried attaching a Pentium 133MHz with only 24MB of RAM. Was told I needed at least 47.86MB. And yes, I do actually have it crunching some projects and earning a few credits! Rod |

Linux 8.04 (wubi) 64b / Q6600 @2.4GHz 450 secs WinXP SP3 32b / X2 4200+ @2.4GHz 385 secs WinXP SP3 32b / 3400+ @2.4GHz 382 secs WinXP SP3 32b / XP2700+ @2.2GHz 442 secs How come my Q6600 is running slower than the Athlons? Zed your's completed in 315 secs. Any ideas? |

Linux 8.04 (wubi) 64b / Q6600 @2.4GHz 450 secs ! of my quads is on linux @ stock speed and is still faster than on Windozescum @ 3.2Ghz I would suggest maybe you swap at least 2 of those doze boxes to Kubuntu 64 and watch how much of a difference it makes to completion times |

Linux 8.04 (wubi) 64b / Q6600 @2.4GHz 450 secs I'm more than likely going to switch my AMD's to Linux, too. But, my Q6600 is already on Linux and is running slower than my AMD's on Windows. That doesn't make sense. |

Do you have a 64bit BOINC Client installed on it? It's not overheating (and thus throttling)? The CPU does tend to get hotter when running in 64bit mode. Join the #1 Aussie Alliance on MilkyWay! |

Actually, my computer seems to be running better in Linux now. Vista was giving me problems, hence the switch. I did not go for the full native install of Ubuntu 8.04, it's the wubi version (http://wubi-installer.org/), supposedly better than running a Live CD. And I am running the 64-bit BOINC client and operating system. |

I just found this wu that was completed last night on 1 of my rigs ... Is this the fastest so far ? I'm not sure http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/workunit.php?wuid=32260933 Intel 9450 @ 3.008Ghz ddr2 800 on kubuntu 64 |

I just found this wu that was completed last night on 1 of my rigs ... Is this the fastest so far ? I'm not sure Some tasks seem to take a bit shorter than others. Don't know why. On average your machine appears to do 160-165s/WU. Q9450 doing well ;) BOINC.BE: For Belgians who love the smell of glowing red cpu's in the morning Tutta55's Lair |

The measured floating point speed is listed as only 1605 million ops/sec. It should be close to 2400. I'm not knowledgeable of Linux enough to know how to fix it. Perhaps, I do need to run Linux natively and not through a Windows installer (wubi) like I am now. |

FIXED: Ubuntu seems to have a throttle set to save resources even if you want to run 100%: CPU frequency/scaling with Linux This worked to get performance back! Q6600 @2.4GHz 450secs -> 305secs |
