Re: SETI@home

[Raju Mathur <raju@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My PIII/550, 512KB cache, 128MB RAM does a work unit in approx. 8
hours if left undisturbed.  Look at secondary cache -- that makes a
big difference in the processing speed.  cat /proc/cpuinfo

Client is: setiathome-2.4.i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1
