>Assuming avg. ~30 Credits per Workunit, that would translate into 10800 RAC running full steam.

Wow, I was only able to get my P4 2.8Gig HT machine up to 760 RAC.

>Yeah, but in a little over 23 minutes it would hit the current cap of 100 WU's per day.

Actually it is more like 400 WU per day (100 * # cpus with max 4 cpus in the equation)

And who knows, with those "120 routers" you could probably jigger the code to let you use all 120 processors.

<blockquote><blockquote>I mean, how quick would it hit max quota? *lol*</blockquote>I looked closer at one of the Xeon 3.06 PC's on the top participants list (mind you, it has 4 processors), and it connects to S@h once every day and downloads upto 100 WU's at a time. So, if you multiply that with 10, you'll get about 1,000 WU's each day on 10 of these machines - provided there are any to hand out to you....

How is that Xeon box getting benchmarks that high, and claiming 50 credits per wu?

I don't know. Each of its processors do about 368 credits per day. The PC is probably overclocked. However, the Xeon CPU is known to be efficient on math.
