Dual Celeron 533

[Spleenus]

i have just bought the required components off of Ebay :-S. So all going well I should have one of them set up on a BP6 mobo. Any ideas how long on average that'll take per WU? I guess around 7 - 9 hours.. sorta . Tho I might just resume this little baby onto RC5 :-D

I had a BP6 with dualie 300A's @ 450. I don't remember the times per WU though. Come to think of it, that was back before the new client anyway. My guess is they wouldn't be awesome performers in SETI because they're 1/2 the cache of the Pentium CPU and they're sharing the memory bandwidth. I could be wrong though. Either way, they will produce more WU's than not running them. I say fire them up and see what happens. If they suck see if they're good at another DC project.

Lookie here.

My cwc1 box is a dual 533, avg times are a little off since I sent up ~200 w/u's that were crunched on another machine from it but overall the avg is about 15-17 hrs per w/u for a total of around 3 a day (which does equal 7-9 depending on your POV).

yup Robor is right - Celerons aren't gonna be kickin too much arse. I had my 500's overclocked to ~625 and they still were slower than both my dual celly 366 boards (all 3 boards are BP6s) The only reason the 366s kicked the 500s@625 butt was because the 366s are overclocked to 550 so the FSB is getting up there. Those 533 should maybe be in the 11hr range depending on if you OC them or not. My 366s@550 do WUs in ~12 hours. My celly 500s@625 did them in ~13hrs

Food for though - I put my dual celly 500 system on Folding@home since it will kinda keep up with most systems - or I should say it doesn't suck as much when compared to the fast systems .

One other note, I wasn't able to get the 533's to o/c more than 392 w any reliability. From what I've heard, you'll actually get better results o/cing w a lower speed cpu.

Neat little board.

I averaged about 980 WU per day running an RC5 client with my dual 533 Celerons on a BP6. Did not overclock BTW.

Have it set up to triple boot Win98/Win2K/Mandrake 8.0. Very reliable running Win2K or Linux. Not so stable under Win98. The only reason I ran Win98 was because of an Intel camera.

My p3 450@505 does SETI workunits in about 11-12 hours. Like Robor says they'll take a hit from the lower cache and FSB though. 3-4 WU's day is still good for the TeAm
