SETI on a p133, lol

[deerslayer]

I found my old Gateway computer in my basement tonight and it still works, so installed SETI on it. Only 5 days and 10 hours per work unit. It's a pentium 133mhz with 48mb of ram. Sure wont help my average WU time any, but it is crunching.

 

[IJump]

Sweet!!!


My highest time is slightly over 24 hours!!

 

[Robor]

When I started SETI I was using P233MMX w/64MB of memory. I stopped them after the 3.03 client was released.

 

[deerslayer]

Well, it's down to 1 day 6 hours 10 minutes. Still pretty funny, but at least the computer has a purpose now I will probably only transmit with it once a week as I haven't gotten a network cable to run to it yet. On a side note I just ran Ad-Aware on my Duron and found 37 files!

This is clearly an assault on Internet freedom :disgust:

Ive found 121 with my program .

LyNx01, while the WU times are quite high, remember each & every WU counts! WTG

 

[RaySun2Be]

I have a P166 running NT4.0 that has an average WU time of 1day 15hours 10 minutes according to my SETIQ.

What's really sad is that I have an AMD K6-2 500mhz that has an average WU time of 1day, 6hours, 33minutes according to SETIQ. :Q

But every WU counts, it's at work so I don't pay the electric, so why not.

 

[deerslayer]

Well it's now up to 3 days and some odd hours since i've been downstairs to check on my duron. But every WU does count Hopefully I don't jack the power bill up with my XP, Duron, and P133 all running 24/7 or i'm gonnna have to start shutting them down at night

 

[Freewolf]

My duron 650 does around 3 a day

I ran SETI on my P200MMX for awhile, until I discovered RC5 was more efficient. SETI's good on non-MMX processors, especially with low multipliers. But on a computer without networking, I'd run ECCP personally.

And if your power bill is too high, just shut down the P133. It gets you the least WUs for your kilowatt-hour.

This is a non MMX processor I believe. I have no idea about the multipliers, I bought the computer from my sister a few years back so I could have a computer of my own in my room, and then I got hooked. Maybe i'll have to try another type of DC on it, but i'll probably stick with SETI right now. That's the only one i've done so far.

SETI runs considerabley faster on an MMX Pentium than it does on a classic Pentium ,the MMX has double the L1 cache & also has greater bandwidth for the cache.
I remember my little brothers old PC which had a Pentium 200 ,when I put in a Pentium 166MMX SETI ran a touch faster!

Btw I once ran SETI on a Pentium 90 laptop & got 79hrs for the WU!:Q
Pentium 233MMX@266 I had did WU's in 30.5hrs

 

[ElFenix]

bah, when i first started i was running the screensaver with graphics non-stop. on a pro 200. then it was a 233. seti caused my first overclock

 

[deerslayer]

My first overclock was by accident. I took my Tbird 1ghz out of my board and put in a duron 600, and didn't change the multipliers (did unlock it though) and it ran at 800, so i never changed it.

How far do you guys think I could push that Duron 600 SAFELY without killing it? Maybe I can get more WU's out of it

I got my 600 to 930 ish before I could nt go any higher. a 33% OC is great! ( 600 to 800 )

My main rig used to be a socket5 Dell Pentium 60, and it did Seti faithfully for about 1 year, can't remember the exact times but I think it did actually complete a WU

That must have been a fast wu, I wouldn't have expected a 166 to crunch that fast (39 hours). I have a dual PPro system with 233's/512k L2 and my average is 31 hours/wu. This was a HUGE improvment from the 180's/256k L2 CPU's I had in there....they averaged 39 hours/wu. Most certainly my old PPro 180's were faster than a plain P166.
