Thanks for the info GleeM. I knew about looking up the project but the server information was new to me and quite interesting.

Also, I just got F@H running on my Hyper-Threading 3.2 P4 at work (2 instances). One of the projects it got was the same as the one I'm running at home. I will be interested to see how much faster my work computer crunches project 1134 than my home pc.

I'll let you guys know if you're interested

Ok the P4 3.2 is taking 49 minutes per frame for project 1134 (my home Sempron 3100+ takes 31 minutes per frame for the same project) and it takes 31 minutes per frame on project 1310. So I guess if the P4 were doing only project 1134 it would take approximately 25 minutes per frame?

If that would be the case, my Sempron at home isn't doing too shabbily. Not a bad 200 dollar purchase.

Yes, I was surprized at the Semprons times!

The P4s time with one instance running would probably be closer to 30 min.

With two instances running you should get a 10% to 25% increase in production.

You can use SBQueue to queue wu for SB just like SetiQueue for SETI. SBQueue was created by our own Ken_g6 and can be found here!

Thanks... when I tried it probably at least a year ago, I don't think that existed. Now, I'm obviously fully committed to F@H, as that's my "home" project, and one of the few where our TeAm isn't next to the top (or at least in the top ten).

How do you enable HT? I'm not sure if mine even has it, but my new rig will.

 

[lmadern]

I know if you are running Win XP with most motherboards the P4's with HT are automatically recognized as such and it is enabled.

My newest Intel rig is a 500MHz Celeron, so I can't speak with great accuracy, but I think HT is an option that must be enabled in the BIOS (maybe it comes on by default). If HT is on, normally you will see two CPU usage graphs in the Task Manager, as if it were an SMP system (make sure on the Performance tab that View > CPU History > One Graph per CPU is enabled). If HT wasn't on when you installed Windows, you may need to either reinstall Windows after enabling HT in your BIOS, or go through a complex driver reinstallation thing to trick it into switching from a single CPU to dual CPU HAL (I think, but ask an expert on this first)...

Then, of course, you just install two F@H CLIs (or one GUI and one CLI), following the same instructions as for dual CPU usage.

I don't see two cpu graphs so I'm assuming either a: HT isn't enabled or b: I don't even have HT. My new rig should have it already enabled and I'll make sure I install two CLIs on it.
