Hey all. Just set up my new PC and I was wondering about the average time it takes to crunch one SETI classic unit.

My Old PC was an Athlon 1700+ 512MB winXP and it is taking about 4 1/2 hours per unit using SETI Driver.

With my new PC, AMD64 3000+ 512mb winXP it is taking about 2 hours per unit.

Is this good, bad or average?

Z.

The current average for new work is... 6h23m20.9s / wu. ;)

As for your computers, seems to be more or less as expected.

ok, these are all high AR's but still - the low AR's are only about 10 minutes slower ;)

I am not sure how accurate this is since it's somewhat outdated but:

SETI calculator

Average time for XP1700+ Pali/T-bred with DDR266 is 3.83 hours (3 hr 49 min)
Average time for XP3000+ Barton with DDR400 is 2.24 hours (2 hr 14 min)
So I would imagine your A64 is even faster.

Unfortunately for AMD, P4 HTed win this bench. But who "plays" SETI anyways ;) Wait till dual-core arrives and AMD will become the leader in just about everything.
