[Byte 2.0]

Toaster,

That is possible, for a couple of reason. One Seti spy at first reports very high Mflops, since the seti client is just starting and does not have alot of data to estimate the total time and is always re-estimating the total times.

Plus those speeds don't seem outragous with your Equipment.
I seems like the kind of person that has about the Best Ram and MB in your system, probably on a great BX Chipset.

Example, I have not tried myself, I will, but the T-Bird 800 MHZ gets about 400 Mflops in windows, so you with Dual 700 P3's (totaling 1400 MHZ) on Linux could very well be reporting 871.93megaflops. Most likely would be slower in WinDoze.

Also the Windows Verison's of Seti is not Mulit-Thread, so on a Dual system in WinNT or WIN2K your only real benifit is Running 2 Seti Clients at once, or Running WinNT on Processor 0 and One Seti Client totally on Processor 1.
(I think that is right)

I am not an expert on linux, I can barely add/remove users. However I understand that Linux runs seti faster, plus you are mostly running a text verison Rigth, that is muilt-Thread?

However those are great numbers to have at the start or thought out a Unit, did you complete that Unit and is so how long did it take...

From reading your other posts you know alot about linux and have no doubt tweaked it down to run as fast as Possible (AFAP).

I know in that a Duron 600 on a cheap MB with cheap no name ram can gets about 175 Mflops and complete a work unit in 5 to 6 hours. Once it did it in 4.5 hours.

I will report on the T-Bird 800 after I get it built and Tweaked down in Win98.
