Amoung the PCs I have folding at the moment are 6 3Ghz P4's. Up until recently they were all crunching 340* projects and doing 105ppd each for weeks. Now all 6 PCs have project 2566 and are doing 323ppd each. In other words my ppd from these 6 machines has trippled just because the WU has changed.

I thought that these WUs were benched on a 2.8Ghz P4 and that the points were based on that machine getting 100ppd. I can't understand why the PPD varies so much on machines that are so close to the benchmark machine.

Good riddance to project 3404 etc anyway. I'm getting 105ppd for one of those WUs on my A64 at home which is running at 2980mhz...

Seems like there's hardly anyone left on this forum running the standard client so that was probably like watching paint dry for anyone who bothered to read it all hehe ;)
 
It's good people are still using the standard client. Shows Team10 is a multi-WU society.

Although I haven't run the standard client myself for quite some time. I can't even remember the WU numbers :eek:
 
the farm here is still mostly on 3402/3 but I've a few others.
Data from Fahinfo.org

3402 (70ppd p GHz C2D) (~34ppd p GHz P4 HT) (40ppd p GHz P4)

1170 (150ppd p GHz C2D)
2146 (50ppd p GHz C2D)
2566 (60ppd p GHz P4)
2620 (150ppd p GHz C2D) (55ppd p GHz P4 HT) (80ppd p GHz P4)

My borgs are nearly all running the standard client because I can't rely on them being on over weekends, bank holidays and school holidays. The 186 & 206 point WUs have been a real pain and well over 400 of them have been crunched by the 820D borgs.
