A dual 1.25 G4 should do around 550 a day?
How about a 500mhz G4? 100?
Tks

More goodies for you all (the MacNN forums will always have the jump on the main SETI forums by however long it takes me to write these posts)...
v7.2-coreduo-nographics
v7.2-core2-nographics
Note that there are finally Core2-specific binaries. Unlike the G5-optimized binaries that I've released in the past (note the wording), these binaries will possibly crash on anything except a Core2- or Xeon-based Mac, because of the instructions added for the new architecture. (I don't use them yet myself, but the Intel compiler might.)

Woot!!  Thanks! Frankly, you're the reason I originally joined this team. I figured that if I am going to (try to) lay the smack down using your app, I should at least have the courtesy to be on your team.
Feature request for future releases: The folks who do the lunatics.at apps (you help on those too right?), add something to the app_info.xml so that it automatically plays nice with SETI beta. Without it, SETI (regular) jobs don't work if you are running both. I now know how to modify it myself, but it would sure be nice to have it pre-configured.
Thanks again!

X-mas came early. Thanks Santa Alex!

Dang Zombie67, What are you feeding that thing? 
Wow!
On a serious note, have you done anything "special"? How much memory?

Completely stock. It has 2gb of RAM. Way overkill for SETI, but since it is used as a daily work machine (!!) 5 days a week, I figured it might be occasionally needed.
Is it even possible to OC intel Macs? Serious question here!

Mac Pros (Xeons), yes. The tape on pin trick. I think there's a couple of posts on the main forum re: details. There's several articles on google. For iMacs, none that I've seen.....not even decent memory options w/ lower latency than the stock CL5 our have since iMac uses 200pin DDR2 meant for use w/ notebook mobo chipsets.
You have both slots already occupied.
As they say...it is what it is.

Links in my original post are now corrected--thanks to njmaugbill and Bad to the bone for pointing it out and offering corrections, respectively.
adream, that Frankenmac of yours is turning in some impressive times! What are its specs?
Please help me with computing the real-world improvement over v7 on your machines if you have time! It looks to me like v7.2 isn't helping Mac Pros nearly as much as I would have liked--perhaps we're running into memory bandwidth/latency-related walls on that hardware. On the other hand, we're doing quite well compared to other machines which aren't hobbled by using FB-DIMMs...

Hi Alex
Frankenmac is a normal cheap asrock lga 775 motherboard with a e6600 c2d overclocked to 2.89ghz with some fastish matched ram.. running 10.4.8 (modified). if you have a good method of testing relative speeds of clients let me know and i will do the comparison between 7 and 7.2, my c2d imac is doing pretty well too thanks to your wonder client :-) theyre allways gonna be faster in some ways than the mac pro as its runnnig ddr2 ram not ecc...
cheers

Alex: Installed the Core Duo version in my MBP. Average CPU time dropped from around 7100 cpusec to 6380 cpusec - a 10% decrease!! Thanks for all your work on the optimization!!

The new app was installed Monday. RAC is now 2008 and still going!

My Quad is 1 year old today. One of the first things done after bringing it home was to install SAH. It has racked up 1,046,383.52 in Total Credits, and at one point was the #1 top computer based on RAC. RAC is still good at 3,210.74, but that only ranks as #17 today. It's still the top PowerMac11,2, but it is the only one in the top 20 right now.
Thanks to Alex for the super workers.
