im at 35.41 is that good?

How long in CPU time has it taken you so far, and what is the speed of the machine you're using it on?

In the bottom section, it will say

Est Times: Total: xx.xx
Left: xx.xx


Take one away from the other, and that's how long it's been going for 🙂

Tho Total Time is probably most useful 🙂 With a 1.8, i'd be guessing around 4-5hrs you'll be aiming for.

I find setting "SETI client priority" to normal works farirly well while using the internet. I set it to high at night and while gone.

I have found no gains/losses one way or the other just leaving it on Low all the time 🙂 Also means I don't have to worry about keep setting it up/down 🙂

1.48=difference


is this good?

That looks pretty much on track, for just under 5hrs total time 🙂


Do you know whether it is a 1.8 (Willamette core, 256k L2 cache) or 1.8A (Northwood core, 512k L2 cache)? The Northwoods are slightly better for Seti, due to the higher amount of L2 cache, as Seti is VERY memory/fsb/cache intensive 🙂

Most of those can hit 2.4GHz quite easily, by simply changing the FSB to 133 MHz from 100 MHz.


That will give you quite a drop in Work Unit (WU) times, and also make the computer much faster overall! The P4's are bandwidth/memory limited anyway, so anything you can do to increase their memory bandwidth can only be good 🙂 And added to the fact that Seti LOVES higher FSB and Memory speeds 🙂

The original P4 (Willamette) and the "A" type are all 100 quad-pumped to 400

The B (2.4B, 2.53B etc) are all 133 quad-pumped to 533


Most 1.8A's can be overclocked to be 2.4GHz
