RC5 and Northwood

[prontospyder]

I'm getting a rate of 3.1M keys/sec for my P4 2.133 Ghz machine. Is that faster than the P4 Williamette?

I've heard that the P4 is faster in Seti@Home....should I run that instead? Thanks.

By all means run Seti on that P4!

The speed calculator HERE will help in determining which cpus are good at RC5.

As for comparison, an Athlon 900 will do just about as well at RC5 as your 2.1 GHz P4.

Humm, the numbers are definately a bit high compared to what the average multiplier was for the original P4. Does anyone else here have P4s of any kind to benchmark RC5 on; I'd like to see if we somehow got screwed up by either an Intel tweak, or a client upgrade.

Yeah I see to get 1.42 - 1.44 compareed to the 1.35 on the TA speed page seems to run faster that 1.44 when the screen saver goes blank - Now we need a more opitmazied client for the P4

P4 2.0Ghz, Willamette 256k L2

Client = dnetc v2.8015-469-GTR-01051420 for Win32 = 2,824,705 keys/sec

Equal to an Athlon 850

Ha Ha Ha!

Motorola G4 550Mhz in my Apple Powerbook G4...5.65 Mkeys/sec.

Don't mess with the G4 in RC5!
