2.4C @ 3.12 GHz-1:1, 260 FSB Or 2.6C @ 3.06GHz-1:1, 235 FSB - Guess who is faster.

[AudiMan]

I've compared two computers crunching. Specs are:

P4C800-E DX
2.4C @ 260 FSB
1:1, 3-4-4-8
3.12 GHz

Epox 4PCA3+
2.6C @ 235 FSB
1:1. 2-2-2-6
3.06 GHz

Can anyone guess which one is faster and by how much? (Avg WU completion time)

[Steven4563]

i think the 2.6C i reckon it does 2 work units in about 2.5hours

[eaglescouter]

Should be the 2.4C, with the FSB at 260. (unless the ram timings screw up this theory)

[AudiMan]

They are both the same. I thought the 2.6C would be quicker, but it's not.

Right now they're averaging 3:00 flat every two WU's.

The ram at cas 3 will kill most of the benefit of running the bus at 260.

[AudiMan]

Maybe I should see if I can run 2.5-4-4-8. I know 2.5-4-3-8 is our ot the question.

TC, do you think it would make a big differece if I only switched from Cas 3 to 2.5?

[Steven4563]

it properly will knock off about 10mins every 2 WU's

[AudiMan]

So far the RAM is running stable at 260 FSB, 2.5-4-4-8. It wasn't able to do this on my IC7 though.

[Steven4563]

well congrats on that if its stable :cool: i wish i had the money for a P4 HT rig just for seti :( lol would boost me up to about 40WU's aday
