Post your average WU times here please

[Frodo Baggins]

I can't beleive that my Duron 950 is going at 10 hours p/wu

I thought it might be because it was overclocked, so I took out down to normal. Nope, still 10. Please post here your Average WU times so I can compare..especially yall Duron 900 ppl

[LuKE]

7 1/2 hours with my duron 850
as high as 8:34 and as low as 6:43

[Frodo Baggins]

/me cries so hard...

I'm running like 2 hours slower then a cpu that's running 100 mhz slower then me...........
/me Screams wtf

[JigPu]

Celeron 466 64Mb

Average acording to SETI: 14:51:40
REAL average (ver 3.0 client average....): somewhere around 18 hours. Just got the CLC and its now down to around 15 or 16 hours. :cool:

Pentium 90 48Mb
Average on what little I've seen: around 82 hours....

JigPu

[Burning Phoenix]

3:50 - 4:10 with p4 1.7 ghz
hopefully water/peltier i'm waiting on will get me 3 hours or less.
Some one else here had said they pulled of times less than 3 hours with a p4 at 2.1 ghz

Did you look at your power management? If the hard drive is set to shut down make sure that you change it to never shut down.

Amd 800 @ 1000 5.5-6.5hours
Intel 667 @ 700 7.7-9.5 hours

[Frodo Baggins]

ooh ooh...maybe that's why!...I canage it in BIOS right?

[Basher]

There and also in the screen saver screen, below the place where you select your screen saver is a power button, look there also.

damn, not the problem....my cpu is still slow and the settings were right before u told me

Try this. (http://twcny.rr.com/technofile/texts/tec051798.html) Let me know if that is your problem.

[Thelemac]

What are your memory settings?

[Frodo Baggins]

Basher: Nope, sorry don't have Office installed
Thelemac: Sorry I know diddly about mem...your gonna have to try to explain to me... :(

[Basher]

What os are you running? Have you defragged the hard drive? When is the last time you reinstalled the os? Memory setting are found in the bios, are you running cas 2? cas 3? 4 way interleaving settings on?

[TC]

Well I have a lot of machines obviously, so it's an average of a good mix. On the high side my 1GHz P3's run up to 8 or 9 hours at most. On the low side I see about 2:45 out of my 2 gig P4. I suspect it's averaging out somewhere in the 5 hour range altogether. Of course my stats do not reflect my current average since it's slowly coming down from the days when I had much slower times. All of that has to be averaged down.

[Thelemac]

Just under five for my Tbird @ 1232 (I think I gotta reboot real quick...)

About 6.3 for my Duron @ 981 (gotta get some more cooling for this one)

About 8.2 for my P///Mobile at 750 (wish I could OC this on a bit...but laptops aren't too friendly when you try that)

Erm...can you further explain the caches?

[Basher]

cas is the memory timing if you are running pc 133 or pc 100 memory look for a setting in the bios for cas, cas 2 is faster than cas 3.

[!-=sky=-!]

around 5 and half hours for tbird 1ghz@1.4
around 8 hours for duron 600@800

This is really ****ing me off how ppl with 800 Durons are going faster then me. I have 128 MB RAM PC-133....so, I go to VIOS and change cas to 2?

[Frodo Baggins]

K, I just checkecked my bios

I ahev a couple things related to mem...

I have 128 MB PC-133 btw

anyways
I see
L1 Cache
L2 Cache

Both are enabled and they have the options of being disabled

I also have Memory size which is set at 16 mb. I can increase to 32 or 64

128 KB L1 Cache, 62 kb L2 Cache (read this in SETISpy)

Maybe you can find out what's wrong, because my 10 hours SETI time is making me so very very mad

[Burning Phoenix]

FRODO is it possible you have programs running in your task bar. Make sure everything is turned off so that all cpu time is used on seti only. CLC version of course!

[Thelemac]

Do you have options to change your memory? Not the cache, but your RAM. You'd want options for latency and the like. If you don't, then tell us what chipset your motherboard uses and we can try to help you with WPCREDIT.

[Frodo Baggins]

Yup...done

Be4 I get to you Thelemac...there's something I noticed...

Other then the unusually long time it takes to crunch...SETI says my L2 cache is 64 kb which is normal for Durons...anyway I can increase this? In the SETI efficiency table, it says that the faster and more efficient your processor, the larger your L2 cache...

Anyhoo

About you Thelemac. I can't find any thigs to change about my memory. I do have something in the Syetm properties called Memory Usage. I can change it from programs to Sys Cache. It's at Programs by default...

I think I have a SiS 730 Chipset

[Thelemac]

Unfortunately, you can't change the size of your L2 cache.

I was kinda hoping your board was a KT133 as I have a link or two that would be able to guide us on that. I'm gonna have to do a bit of looking to find out information on that one.

Are you looking in Windows to find a place to change your memory settings?

[chawken]

I have a collection of machines like TC does, so my average times range from 2hrs 50mins up to 8hrs, and like TC, my times are still going down. All machines averaged, probably around 5hrs ave for the collection.

[Thelemac]

If those of you overburdened by slow computers wants to send a donation over my way, I'd be happy to take them off your hands for you! :)

What do you mean change my memory settings. The only thing I see for memory, is change the Memory Usage (between progz and cache) or change the virtual mem (which I maxed pout)

[andz]

Average 9 hrs.. but goes anywhere between 8 hrs and 14 hrs when those nasty low AR W/Us show up...

You should be looking for memory settings in your BIOS...which you get to by hitting del or F2 during POST...should say hit XXX to enter setup at the bottom of the screen.

fs, I knowhow to get into BIOS. I don't have any mem settings thougyh

Oh...that's what I was trying to get at. Hm...gimme a couple days to find some information on something for a SIS 370 chipset for WPCREDIT for ya.

[Rottys-R-Us]

T-Birdy about 4.25-4.5

Duron around 7.25-7.5

[Thelemac]

You Duron time seems a bit high. I was getting about 6.5 with my Duron at 952. I *did* have the memory running at ~150 though. Though that was asynch.

I was actually talking to Rottys...I know that you know that your times are off.

[Frodo Baggins]

/me cries some more

such slow times...

[Rottys-R-Us]

Update. A little.

[Frodo Baggins]

Stop embarrassing me! I'm running a 950 Mhz Duron for cryin out loud
/me mumbles somethin about big men showing off their computers

[Thelemac]

If you go into Spy in the Result tab and click view log then you'll be able to see your actual cpu time. I've found that they are always different than any prediction.

[Frodo Baggins]

10.1 hours
10.4 hours
9.7 hours
10.2 hours

Ok. I have never used the log :(

How do I enable it:confused:

TIA !!

I was pretty sure that Spy automatically logged your info.

So you should be able to check them, even though you didn't realize that you were logging your info. :)

Both mine are empty.

[Thelemac]

Oh, well, my bad.
Hey, wait a minute! I can't find it! :mad:

Does anybody else know how? Mine does it automatically.

[Rottys-R-Us]

Are you running the CLC or Screen Saver version?

I hope not the S/S one :rolleyes:

Me? Certainly not the screensaver. Though I did start out with that, and couldn't figure out what people meant by the CLC when I first came here. That was probably about a week. Then I wised up. :)

Silly boy. No not you :D

I was asking Frodo Baggins, I see he has not been asked that, if so I missed it.

[Thelemac]

He said that he was using the CLC in a previous post. It's pretty easy to overlook. :)
