DPAD Speeds

I have had my p3 733 running for about 24+ hours and it only has 8.34k in the result.txt, my Barton 2500 does that much in about an hour, does sound right to everyone? Seems mighty slow.

my PIII 600 does around 20.000 points per week so I guess u're all right with yours

You have to check the number of Mpts in the file.

Its not the size of the file that counts, but the amount of work getting done, which get measured in Mpts ..

while that does seem extremely slow:

A) what OS
B) how much ram (dpad is very ram hungry..from 40 --> 200[or so i thought i read]) MB
C)check the results.txt file. Are the 8 or so transfers in there really large ones (i.e. 9.93495%)
D) any other background programs (check to see whether dpad is really going 100% cpu)

holy dasm. DPAD triple team action :Q

hehe ... well, check the results.txt file. I once had only 7 results after 2 days and it turned out that all these were 5 times rechecs --> 35 results

Ok, It appears that the p3 733 is actually doing 3.2Mpts per minute, this compares to the Barton 2500 that does 12.1 and the p4 2.66 that does 10.3 so I guess it is just about right.
BTW the p3 733 has 512megs of sdram and has nothing running on a fresh install os Windows ME (Monkey Edition).

then , yes, i would say it sounds about right

believe it or not it really does put out a decent amount for what it is. that chip would probably net you 2 WU/day (in seti) while that barton can do 10-12 Wu/day..so that's 1/5 1/6th the output...while in DPAD it does 1/4 the output
