Apple under-promised and over-delivered on the shipping - it was supposed to arrive next Tuesday. Edits: It's up! Bad news on the Jabber server, though; I've temporarily broken it. Sorry. I'll sort that as soon as possible. OK, let's get one thing straight. This thing is huge. Massive. Monolithic. Let's get another thing straight. It's really, really fast. Google Earth I've never seen so slick. I quite like the Mighty Mouse, too. More as it happens. And I'll try to get the Jabber server fixed quickety quick (it's not serious, just a missing module at bootup) Peter [link\|http://www.no2id.net/\|Don't Let The Terrorists Win] [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal] [link\|http://guildenstern.dyndns.org\|Home] Use P2P for legitimate purposes!

Post #275,851 by Another Scott 12/15/06 1:04:31 PM Reply	I'd be curious to see its E@H times. My Athlon64 3500+ beats my wife's PowerMac G5 Dual (2x2GHz) machine. I'd be curious how fast your new toy is, if you have a chance to let it run for a day or so. I think the "CPU time (sec)" is a pretty good metric (though there are obvious compiler issues, etc., that affect the comparisons between architectures). It's a good burn-in tool, too. ;-) [link\|http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/team_display.php?teamid=679\|IWeThey's E@H Page]. Cheers, Scott.
Post #275,958 by Another Scott 12/17/06 9:02:01 AM Reply	1748 s per unit. Speedy! My Athlon64 3500+ is about 2402 s/unit. Yours is 1.37x as fast. Her PowerMac G5 (Dual 2 GHz) is about 3542 s/unit. Yours is 2.03x as fast. My Fujitsu P7120D Laptop (1.2 GHz Pentium M) is about 9000 s/unit. Yours is 5.15x as fast. (My T41 Laptop (1.7 GHz Pentium M) numbers are wacky at the moment.) I'll report numbers for my Opteron 175 (to replace the Athlon64) when I have them. (It's one of my vacation chores.) Thanks! Cheers, Scott.
