I have to know what your performance is with the dual 2.7.

Inquiring minds HAVE to know.

And you folks with the 3Ghz dual core MP prototypes.
Spill the beans on your performance!

With the unoptimiated 4.35
Measured floating point speed 1446.53 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 3672.8 million ops/sec
With the Adventurous G5/Altivec enabled patch (dropped into the BONICManager/Contents/Resources folder and renamed "Bonic")
Measured floating point speed 2426.7 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 8015.2 million ops/sec

If I understand correctly, that's per CPU.

That's great. What I meant is:
How long does it take to complete a block on average in hours?

Todd, can you specify the project you are interested in. I am guessing SETI, but team MacNN is involved in so many it would help to know which one you are specifically wanting to know about.

Sigh. I've been running the conventional CLI Seti @ Home (pre-Boinc) since its inception
and mostly on a vintage sawtooth G4/400 with 2 gigs of ram and such. I remember in its
early days when I could manage 4.5-5 hours a block. No more. With the release of 3.x
I ended up getting somewhere in the range of THIRTEEN HOURS per block. I eventually
stopped it and just occasionally used my wife's iMac G4 (1.25 GHZ) for Seti periodically
and my self-built PC (2.2 ghz). Now that I have a G5 dual Mac in the house I want to see
if I can optimize it for continuing this experiment.

How about someone with one of the Mactel boxes from Apple?
Let me think, how would that work. The client would have to be re-written. I presume there is not a Mactel client yet.
Do the new developer boxes have the Rosetta chip?
Forget that NDA and spill whatever beans there are to spill! :-)

Rosetta chip? There's no chip, it's software.
