My 3GHz P4 has stacked up a feeble 300 pending credits.

My best (on the dual 2.0 GHz G5) is ~ 28,712.75 s. Your AMD Athlon64 3000+ seems to be quite speedy even though it only has 512 MB of RAM. Can you tell us more about it? 939 pins? Which motherboard and chipset? Are you overclocking it? Etc. We're up to #318 now. :-) Thanks. [edit:] I just noticed that the G5 is routinely doing 5-6 work units a day while your A64 is doing 2-4. So it seems that the BOINC client is using both the CPUs on the G5. SMP baby! MUST .. HAVE .. MORE .. PROCESSORS! Cheers, Scott. (Who wonders who the mysterous 5th member of the team is...)

I leave it overnight, or while I'm at work, next time I check I still see it running with ps, but the processor is doing nada. I can stop and start the client, but then I have to go merge the multiple machines it thinks I have again. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Yes, I had it built for me - am getting lazy in my old age :) Maybe my results-per-day is a bit low as I was initially switching it off when I went to work. But it's been running continuously a few days now, never mind the electricity bill, greenhouse gases, etc, etc.. I can confirm that I haven't overclocked it though, it's running as standard. John. Hence the 512MB RAM. Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.
