Hi There,
   It's been really quiet here for the last two weeks or so, So I'll try to answer as best I can, although I am sure someone can correct me or enhance on it for you. 

If you are comparing the Chicken SSE 2.4 versus Crunch3r's SSE 2.4V they will be basically the same,  they are from the same sources, though I beleive Cruncher's is newer and *maybe* a couple of percent faster.  Also if running Vista you'd need the Crunch3r's 2.4V As I understand it (Hence the 'V')

Having said all that, I own neither Windows Vista nor an AMD CPU, so there may be more to it.

On the Other hand if you are comparing the SSE versus stock there is a fair performance difference (AMD not sure though), but not as much as there used to be because a lot of the work from the guys here filtered through to the stock application. (A good thing )

[Note: I suspect Our posts will be rightly moved from GPU Crunching to somewhere else pretty soon ]

Crunch3r's page has the Vista compatible builds. For 64 bit Vista, you'd want "2.4V Windows x64 SSE2 EM64T & AMD64", for 32 bit Vista "2.4V Windows x32 SSE2 AMD".

use 2.4V due variable credit multipier !!!


pls admins move this to correct forum ....

2.4V is Vista friendly.  Yes, it will work w/ 5.10.30

Another question regarding Intel CPU'S ?

I have an IBM Intellistation M pro with Type :   Intel Xeon
Internal Specification :   Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.00GHz
Codename :   Prestonia
Revision :   C1
Technology :   0.13µ
CPU ID :   F.2.7
CPU IDEx :   F.2.7
Brand ID :   B
Microcode :   MU0F2728
which intel catagory would this fall under  Intel P4 or Intel PM ?

regards

Matt

Pentium 4 based.  It's a Xeon version of the Northwood core (which was a good performer back then).  You have Hyperthreading on that chip, so you CAN run 2 instances of Seti if you select 2 CPUs  in your S@H preferences.  Your WU completion times will increase, but you should actually do slightly more work @ 3-5% than by only running 1. There have been some reports that HT w/ Xeons isn't quicker on Seti.  You can play w/ it & see how this works on yours.  Note:  You don't need 2 copies of the application, just set your Seti preferences (in your account settings) to 2 CPUs.  Have fun.

Under Account settings, Computing Preferences, "on multi-processors use at most: 2 processors", is what you're looking for if a single-socket Xeon w/ HT, if you have a 2-cpu board, then change the value to "4".  This again is if you want to enable HT (a 2nd "virtual" CPU).  If you want to crunch w/ just the 1 physical core, then specify 1 instead of 2.
