Is this good performance for SETI@Home?

[donny_paycheck]

My system is in my sig. SETISpy shows this as my performance. Is it any good? I am running the CLC.

It is okay, but you could have better times. The most important thing to seti is not FSB, but rather Ram. The better the ram timings the best seti crunches. what is yours set at.

It is all 2s.

normally with pc133 or DDR RAM, you can use CAS2 with no problems, and increase the memory frequency to 133 if you have standard sdram and make sure the system is still stable.

Yeah, mine's running at 142mhz right now.

i would say 3.8hr/WU for a XP @ 1.7G is kinda slow! consider my XP @ 1.52G (10.5x144), 8KHA+, fastest memory timing in BIOS, ave. 'bout 3.4hr/WU w/ a 0.417 AR. u should be able to get into the low-low 3hrs range w/ some tweaking. :cool:

See, this is what I thought. Tweaking as in tweaking the overclocking params i.e. FSB and memory timings? I'd really like to get down ther (well yeah, isn't that the point?) because doing it on this machine would show me how to do it with the other computers I've got running it. Also, the average CPU cycles/flop seem pretty high for what they should be. Are these figures respectable?
