My Pentium-M 1.5 gets between 12-13 per day. Are you doing something different to get that many? You're talking about sub 1 hour WU times! :Q


I think he made a calculation error or he had a BUNCH of bad wu's (less that 1 min each) in that run. There's no way that system could put out that many every day. If it can....I'll eat my shorts!


I would love for you to eat your shorts....and then let LaptopDude show the rest of us how to get the same results! ;)

:D


I'm down with that. Share your secret!

Fud Prove it! show us the setidriver log.

I have a Toshiba Sat. P15-409 that does 12 to 15 WU per day with a P4 2.8 GHz w/HT. Since I bought it in late Oct. it has done 1,172 WUs. Gotta love it! But, I was a bit miffed when I first saw a claim of a Centrio doing 24-25 per day! :Q (I wanted to buy one, but they didn't have them available at Best Buy or CompUSA with dedicated ATI or Nvidia graphics.) With a little reflection I decided it ain't so!

I will stand in line with shorts in hand. Make us eat 'em LTD!

I have a similar one (P25-S508) with the same processor, but I'm not even sure mine does that many WU :p I don't have SetiSpy running on it, and I don't think I have SetiDriver creating a log, either :|

I have mine going to my SetiQueue, so I just looked at the graph for RPD. You might try pointing yours to a queue and take advantage of the extra stats.

I get about 200 WU's a day out of my newest creation:

Proprietary Quad RISC Processors running at 10ghz.

10gigs of PC24000 RAM

Can't wait to try some overclocking. Should really scream!

I have one of the 1.7GHz Centrino notebooks. I use it a lot each day and it runs 24/7.

I'm getting 13.585 WUs @ day. :)

But my Dell 3.2G HT w/1G DDR400 puts out 15.652 WUs @ day.

Neither is OCed. I'm into "quiet". :p

If it didn't have to run in x86 Emulation mode it would be even faster! ;)

Only way I see that machine doing 24+ a day, is if you overclocked it bad and it keeps ditching the WU's partway through because of "Static" :)

10-12 WU's a day back when I had my Barton OC'd to the max.


Now the average machine does 1-2 a day.

Be interested to find out how to OC a mobile CPU, since those features aren't available in any of the laptops I've ever used :p

I'm at 9 WU for my P4HT 3GHz (running 2 processes) for the day (since the day started at midnight, that is). I'll check SetiDriver/SetiSpy log tomorrow and see where it ends up.
