The following are supplied to the community to use as a bench marker.
This is a comparison of the points generated by three different machines Total Point per Machine (TPM) / Total Runtime in Minutes (TRM) = Points per Minute of Crunch (PMC).

Configurations:

Machine 1: Single CPU AMD 2800, 512MB Mem, 10 G Hard drive to client.

Machine 2: Dual CPU AMD 2800s, 1G Mem, 10 G Hard drive to client.

Machine 3: Single CPU Intel 3.2Ghz, 1G Mem, 10 G Hard drive to client


Machine # Points per Minute of Crunch
1 .4861
2 .5993
3 .5922


I really thought I would see a larger difference between the AMD and the INTEL but I’ve been running since 11/17/2004 and I do not believe the size of the units are a factor at this point.
