How fast does a pentium pro 200 do a WU?

[Clinth]

I just got a pentium pro 200mhz 256k cache that i was going to setup as a sever, so how fast does it crunch a S@H WU? Is it worth me time to install S@H on this machine?

Thanks,
Clinth

Any machine you can run it on is a big help! Whether it be a Pentium 75MHz or an AMD 1.4GHz.

I would assume that it would take at least 20 hours to finish a WU on that machine.

I think it would be closer to 2 days than 20 hours.

Last time I tried it, it took about 45-50 hours, so Baldy is correct.

I am still running what was originally a Pentium 166. The first thing I ever did inside of a computer besides change a CMOS battery was when I upgraded this computer back in 1997 with an Intel Pentium OverDrive Processor w/MMX Technology boosting it CPU speed to a whopping 200 MHz.

I just checked my SetiLog.csv file and this little computer has done 55 WUs since 6/24/2001 averaging 35:52:15 @ WU or .67 WUs@ Day
.

Not bad for what is considered an obsolete computer by today's standards.

I have a ppro 200, 256K cache OC to 233 MHz

Average CPU time 23h 24m for 22 units, Win2K cli 3.03

CyberDuck, are you on Team AnandTech?

50+ hours/WU seems too long, my P133 is just a little bit slower than those times.

 

[CyberDuck]

Yes, im on team Anandtech

My production is not very high, 1-3 wu/day, but hopefully there will be some upgrads later this year

Just think, if you did rc5 it would do ~180 work units a day...

And it'd probably do several DPs a day in ECCp

Well, that 6-way ALR I had was averaging 3.36 Mkeys when I had it doing RC5.

 

[bot2600]

I REALLY wanted that ALR...

my pro 233 is about 24 hours a WU, more or less. mostly more, i think.

ppros are not multiplier locked, I think you can help it some but upping the fsb on the board to 75 if it supports it, and changing the multiplier to 3. That ups the cpu to 225 AND gets a little better memory throughput with the 75mhz fsb instead of the 66...
