Got my 2 633 celeries, both are running at 950 MHZ on 1.75v! 😀😀😛😛 Both boxes are BH6's with MSI Master slockets.

The first one is using the Intel retail HS/F, the other one was W2K stable, but would lock up :frown: after 10 minutes or so on RC5 (that's why it is a good stress test). I managed to get an old Alpha on it and it now seems perfectly stable 😀.

1.064 Ghz equals a dead computer, but WTF, 🙂 , can't have everything. Have almost doubled my old keyrate for about $230.
 
2.65MKeys/s? I thought RC5 was dependent on clockspeed? Hmm, seems that the Athlon core does do RC5 a little faster. Eg. 800Mhz and 2.82MKeys/s.
 
Keyrate is pretty much linear, but the TBird is inherently better at RC5 than a Celeron/PIII. You ought to check out the numbers on a G4 500 Mhz, 4.3Mkeys! 😛
 
First assimilation attempt in the morning. Urgg..over ICQ as usual.


Liquid: no, not too sure what this thing is......dont trust stuff liek that, also i like my CPU being idol
Genie Alpha: There're currenly a few thousand members of Anandtech registered in the competition. All blocks cracked credit to TA.
The competition has been going on for 3 years. Their CPUs are running 24/7
Genie Alpha: It's no hassle at all. Just install the client. typein my mini-team's e-mail and continue with your work.
Liquid: whats it decoding for tho, i dont want to code for a Super Virus to kill all humans
Genie Alpha: What are the benefits of RC5? Well, first of all, you're proving that distributed computing works. The objective of RC5 is also to prove that 64Bit encryption on the internet is insufficent.

Besides the official reasons, running the RC5 client program continously is a very good test of your CPU and network systems. It gives your CPU something useful to do when idle. An example of an idle CPU is when you're reading mail, surfing the web or typing a letter. On an 800Mhz Cpu, even playing MP3s don't take up more than 10% of your CPU time. That means that 90% or more of your CPU cycles are being wasted!!

Genie Alpha: Show your support for Anandtech.
We're currently ranked the 2nd team out of 10K plus teams in the competition.
Liquid: i dont really care about Anand tho, its just a site
Genie Alpha: did you overclock your CPU?
Liquid: no
Genie Alpha: i see 🙂
Genie Alpha: well, it's your choice i guess 🙁
But joining is no hassle at all. just install the client and type in the e-mail and you're set. Did i mention that there'll be a 10K prize for the winner?
Liquid: winner, ie person who....................
Genie Alpha: yes


I know, the last few lines aren't clear enough, but he hasn't replied yet. 🙂
 
Wait, I thought the winner get 1000 and the left over is given to a charity or something? LOL! I'm cracking and don't even know the price money. This is what it's all about... FUN! 🙂 😀
 
From Dnet: 🙂



<< RSA Labs is offering a US$10,000 prize to the group that wins this contest. The distribution of the cash will be as follows:

$1000 to the winner
$1000 to the winner's team - this would go to the winner if he wasn't affiliated with a team
$6000 to a non-profit organization, decided by vote
$2000 to distributed.net for building the network and supplying the code

The vote will be decided on through an extension of the statistics engine, with one vote per block per person. >>



 
...but they are still Celeron's....
:frown:

True, but for me it was the most cost effective/easiest upgrade. Too lazy to swap out MB's, would have cost almost twice as much to go Duron/A7V and I'm not terribly impressed with that board--not with the 760 right around the corner.

A 760 with dual 1 Gig Tbirds &amp; 256 MB of DDR 266 <<drool>>, Santa are you listening? 😛
 
It was a right decision to upgrade your old stuff. If i had to upgrade, owning an Intel System, i would have chose this way too. I upgraded from a K6-3 to an Athlon, so had to change the whole system.


The bad thing is that Celeron 2 @850 can't even compete with a PIII 700.

But again, it was the right decision and &quot;the most bang for the buck&quot; 🙂

Mega 😎
 
<<...but they are still Celeron's....>>

good point it is important in RC5 for people to realize which CPU is best

<<The bad thing is that Celeron 2 @850 can't even compete with a PIII 700>>

you may want to check your BIOs settings, my celerons perform the same as my PIIIs as do everyone elses

or you may be talking about playing Q3 or something instead of RC5

Jim I have a 633 in transit(UPS land) that will most likely go in this machine(BH6) which is my web browsing/FTP machine

I am hoping it will do 950, but my friend at work got a 633 last week and we could not get it to post at 950 at all

hoping I will have better luck but either way going from 450 to 633/780 is not too bad for $80

..Dale
<edit> changed BP6 to BH6..wrong computer + speeling</edit>
 
But of course, since the upgrade was to support TA, C2@850 is better than P3@700! 🙂 (For RC5, anyway.)

Speak softly and crack lots of Mega-keys!
 
I know the feeling. The first Celeron ][ 566 I bought went to 878MHz on an Abit BE6 rev 1. It was a retail box, 1.65V core with factory heatsink and it ran stable as heck on Windows 95. Didn't have enough hard drive space for 98.

The second one I got was OEM and I've had the voltage all the way up to 1.7V and it won't do anything but 710MHz on another BE6 rev 1 I had. Sure with there were some more clock settings on the BE6 rev 1 between 83 &amp; 100 FSB.
 
Dale,

I was indeed talking of Gaming Performance, were the C2 is far behind an equally clocked PIII. As it is in SETI. RC5 seems to be another story.

JimMc ok Jim my 633 came today, and mine is an SL4PA 1.7 volts .. the reason I mentioned that the only other ones I have seen are 1.65V so I figured mine was from a crappy yield but it seems to like 950 @1.75.. after it runs a couple of more hours I'll try it a little faster..

Dale
very pleased
 
Dale--Yours is oneof the new steppings, cC0, OEM version, right? Haven't seen one of those yet. I believe the cC0 PIII's and Celeries are all 1.7 but I'm not sure. I think the die was shrunk 5%, some errata were un-errataed and they upped the voltage. I'd be very interested in knowing how it does and what kind of HS/F are you using.
 
Jim yes it is a cc0 ..after reading your post, I went to Intels
site and looked it up, it is an OEM SL4PA

it has a PAL35T on it right now, but I will probably put the Intel
retail heatsink on it when I move it to this box and save the Alpha for the ones that need it

after it ran about 3 hours last night, I tried 1050 and it would lock up in 15 secs ; ) it seems to work great at 980 @1.75 and I will try 1007 when I move it.. but it seems so content now making little dots on the screen I probably wont move it till the weekend(or I get another one) which ever comes first

dont know if I just got lucky or what.. I have seen so many posts of people running 950.. I had to try it and am glad I did 😉

like yours this box is an old BH6 and it ran my Piii 700 at 930+ so I am sure this chip will work fine in it also, it will be nice to speed it up some, the 700 spoiled me(I had to give it to my son)

l8r
..Dale

just looked at the PIIIs and the only cc0 listed is the '1.13'G so the CII cc0 533-700 share the 0686 cc0 cores with the PIII'1.13'
(had to quote that because of the .13 😉 man they must be hard up)
