I've an account.. the web sites says I've 'completed more work units > than 96.371% of our users.' :) I want to see how much better the fbsd box > does than the wintel boxes :) I'm running in place 2586 and at 99.725. The FreeBSD box is running at the tail end. It is a Celeron 433 and the production from Setiathome is running the ratio of the memory. The NT boxes are all runn PC100 and the Celeron is using PC66. The ratio is across the board 1.5 in favor of NT. FreeBSD does a WU in 14-15hrs and NT does a WU in 9-11hrs. You have to use the NT command line version. The pretty graphics suck about 3.5 times slower out of the NT version.
