Can you please post the output of /proc/cpuinfo. ID: 227482 ·

When I was running XP on it, it had 4.25 at the time the benchmarks were run. This looks strange. You you try a "cat /proc/cpuinfo". And if you're not happy with the default boinc benchmarks then you could try one of my versions. Just click on the link in my sig. Join BOINC United now! ID: 228573 ·

Just click on the link in my sig. i'm a newb to linux, so i'm figuring this out as we go along. here is with the cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 1595.766 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm bogomips : 3153.92 as for the benchmark results, i'm happy with whatever is normal. I'm just curious if my version of linux (Fedora Core 4) or boinc itself just has lousy processor support, or if windows has a tendency of overstating it's numbers. This looks much better :) As for the benchmarks, the windows compiler itself tends to optimize code a bit better with default settings. That's why there are optimized versions for linux to close the gap between windows and linux. I suggest you to try this version --> http://www.bm-makler.de/setiathome/boinc/pc/boinc_5.2.14_SSE2.tar.bz2 Join BOINC United now! ID: 228793 ·
