Just for comparisons sake could you guys (and gals too) post what bogomips your 2.6.5-7.104 kernel is reporting in boot msgs? Would those of you running SETI@Home also post your unit processing times?
Peter, I have found that with most desktop processors your bogomips will mostly be about double your mhz. This doesn't really mean anything much. I have a 2ghz Athlon, bogomips is just over 4000. Seti (commanline only) takes 3:50-4:50 hours. The speed problem here is due to the PC133 CL3 mem. I had a 1533mhz Athlon in the same bord first (moved it to another machine, and it was only 20 or so minutes slower in general, which brings me to believe that the memory is pretty much slowing the machine down. My second machine, a Duron 1200mhz, with DDR266, does the job roughly 5:00-5:30 hours. At work I have a 1Ghz Celeron, PC133 CL2.5 mem, a wu takes around 8 hours. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
