what project is a P4 good for

[Fingers]

I picked up an awesome deal on a 2Ghz celeron box and have seti and UD on it right now. I know seti favores large cache and a good FP. What is this good for (it's got to be good at something). It has to play nice with UD though.

edit: forgot to mention it had DDR.

Hmmm where did my message disappear? Some technical problems here 🙂
What I've seen and heard Seventeen or bust is good choice for P4's.

ROTFLMAO, I get it. P4 is good for nothing


edit: it was funnier when there was no post there.

Or maybe you can try trout fishing with P4's 😉

I ran Seventeen or Bust for a while on my P4 (see rig in sig) and it ran VERY well, I was something 15th in daily production out of about 450. I now run Distributed Folding which also runs VERY well on this machine. Btw, if you join the Team Anandtech White Elephant Distributed Folding race, you could win a 1.4 GHz TBird, 256MB of RAM or one of many other fine prizes! 😀 If you join TeAm SB, then you get to help out a relatively new and very small team move up in the stats! (big fish, little pond effect) 😎

That P4 is gonna crunch anything just fine!

(The AXPs have an edge on many projects, but it is not that big..... for example, a P4 2.4 will crunch DF at about the same rate as an AXP @ 1.7GHz)

I'm going to chime in with CrazySaint about the DF 'white elephant' race. We just got started and it seems like fun so far. While the top 3 finishers have

prizes assigned to them, there are another 7 prizes which will be given away (by blind drawing) amoung all finishers.

If you are curious you can see the details here

Yep, the P4's do do VERY well at Seventeen Or Bust 🙂


Just ask here if you want any help 🙂
