Has anyone else been getting these WU's? They run about 4 -5 minutes / frame faster than most other SMP units I get and they give a few hundred more points, woot.

BTW I'm still new to SMP F@H, but 955 PPD is the highest I've seen on this system.

Well, I think this is why we get the beta smp bonus

Oh yeah, quite familiar with the 2605s. We love em! 2604s too.

It's the 2608s, 2609s, and 2652s that some of us don't like.

oooh... almost forgot, the 2653 is a golden one too.

Yep, I've been getting them.

What project have you been getting, Zerix?

Yeah, on my E6600, the 2604/5s are worth ~660 ppd more than the 2608/9s. That's a HUGE difference, IMHO.

Now just push that Bris up to 2.9-3.0GHz and you'll see ~1360-1400ppd.

But beware of Windows with the 2x512kb L2 on that Brisbane... they do considerably better under Linux. The penelty for a 2x1mb L2 K8 is similar but can be tolerated.

Working on it, I won't feel comfortable playing around with this chip until I get some water cooling action.

So is that why the Linux client has better performance than the windows one, better cache management?

btw I haven't let Windows touch my computer in a long time.
