But Andy's is much neater, and miles more useful. I've ditched my stat script in favour of Andy's, and learned a little about xslt in the process.Originally posted by andysrockets
(same should be true for cyder's thing too)

Illini... I think your linux opterons could use a little optimisation. I was looking at your stats for one machine compared to my measly little XP2000+. It appears that the linux client is so pants that my measly Athlon running the Windows client under wine is crunching faster than your opterons
So you may want to give it a try... install wine & windows client. Not sure how well that will cope with SMP though.

That, I seriously doubt. Windows code will be optimised for fairly generic i486/586/686. 512kb cache is a bit weedy these days, but Athlon/Opteron does have a superior pipeline.Originally posted by vjp
The Windows code must be optimized for Athlons, that or the Athlon's big 512KB cache is really helping.
That is some overclock!
My Athlon XP 2500 "Barton", which is overclocked to an Athlon XP 3200, is running WinXP Pro, and cranking out WU's in under 6 hours. Not bad for an $82 processor!
Overclocking the Athlon XP 2500 to a 3200 is about the easiest OC'ing you can do. The chips are identical in every respect, the only difference being that the FSB is 400MHz on the 3200 vs. 333MHz on the 2500. And the quality of the chips is so good that virtually every 2500 can run at 400MHz, rock solid and no thermal issues. So you plug a 2500 into any nVidia nForce2 motherboard with good PC3200 memory, set the FSB to 400MHz (actually 200Mhz x 2), and you're set.Originally posted by andysrockets
