Work unit times...

[rocketmanx]

Is anybody running apps or surfing the web on these machines?
I have a Dual P3 550 Win2k machine running at 617 with latency set to 2 and all the other bios settings set appropriately. I also have 2 clients running with each set with an affinity to cpu 0 and 1 respectively so each runs on it's own cpu. My unit on cpu o is set to below average priority (so I can still work at a reasonable pace) and cpu 1 is to realtime or high priority depending on what I'm doing.
The point (question) is, even when I leave my machine run overnight with nothing else running my best time/wu is on 7:52. Does this seem right with the 2.4 cl client? My times aren't nearly as fast as the ones I see here. By contrast my win98 machine at 770 with latency set to 2 turns out wu's in a little over 4 hours with the 2.7 gui client running minimized. This is while runnning apps and surfing the web.
Thanks for any comments

rocketmanx: There's a new site which is under construction for all new SETI@MURC team members - I've designed it and produced some content as has our stats king, Ees - after us two though it's been all Guru (big thanks to him ).

You can access the site in my signature below or a page with a performance graph showing times you could get with your system is here.

rocketmanx runing 2 clients at the same time on a dual CPU system is not as fast as runing just one client on a singel CPU system! Runing just one client on your system will lower your average times abaut 1.5-2.5h but you will still not be able to crunch as many WU's a day as you are now! Some people report that runing the 2.70 beta (GUI) on one CPU and the 2.4 CLI on the other is faster then runing two CLI!

BTW why don't you join our team? Just follow the link in my signature!

I am a member - I just passed the 100 work units a little over a week ago. I crunch 2 units at the same time because I'm more concerned with quantity than speed. The times listed above are the first I've seen that are on comparable systems to mine. I would love to get faster times as that would increase my output per day. I am building a dual p2 450 Xeon 1mb cache system right now. I just am waiting on the motherboard to arrive and it will do nothing but crunch seti #'s. I also have 2.7 running on 3 more win98 machines (just added these today)here at work (total of 6 now) where I only had two at home that only run when I'm home from work. On the Xeon machine I will be very concerned with time per WU as that is why I built it. Hopefully I will be putting out double digit wu's as opposed to my measley 3 per day now.

BTW -Back to my original question- is anybody using there machines for anything but seti? or are those times for seti dedicated machines?

GURU-
Thanks for the 2.4/2.7 client tip.
I'll try it when I get home tonight and post what I find as I'm sure there are plenty of dual proc machines on the MURC team.
