WU2608.jpg


I've been more than a little confussed over two of these three screenies, I understand the single core one but the difference between WU2608 and WU2651. The WU2651 results were after I re-installed the client.

Is WU2608 the very intensive on the cpu?
Is it possible the first install was wacked?
Is the single core anywhere near correct?
How much do the WUs rely on internet conectivity speed?
Is there a EMIII that works with the multi core client?

TIA

Not sure I can be much help as I don't use the Win SMP but I'll try.

Have you looked at the project stats page on Standfords site? That will tell you deadline info which will indicate a time fram for you. Each project can either be similar i.e 2608/9 or very different in points awarded & time taken even on same CPU.
Has SSE been enabled? Are you sure it is working on last unit?
WU & internet = 0 diffrence I'm on 16 MB/1MB & it up/downloads @ 45kbps - a limitation of the FAH servers.

I would expect the 2608 to be running faster. I take 34 mins on a +4600 @2.6GHz
 
I'm thinking the client must not have been working properly on WU2608 or do frames differ from one another?

I've also got a e6400 but only at 3.0 but your avg time does seam a little slow - are you doing anything else with the pc - gaming/moving files/etc

Edit: can be normal for first 4 frames to take a little longer but not middle ones - not using fahmon currently so has only data on 2605 and 2608 in logs sorry.

The dual core setup in the early days had to be configured as 2 apps in differnet folders yes? but the Smp client that is available does this auto no need to give cpus different id yes?
