During the DSFL+GFAM Beta a few weeks ago, i noticed similar time differences between my intel i7 notebook and the wingmen - where my cruncher was the slower one (mostly 25-35 hours). However, all turned out valid. As for these SN2S Betas, time differences look rather normal.

On page 1 of this thread it has been said, that VINA jobs may cause the machines to run hotter - looks like this is true for my machines as well. Any reason why? I am already considering putting the notebook outside, where it has -12°C ;-)

I've had no inconclusive or invalid results in this beta. That includes valid results from a Pentium, P2, P3 and P4. I wonder what the Celeron issue is?

Just as blue as the central Adriatic Sea behind the San Grasso mountains, you mean ...

Just completed a WU on my AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core. CPU run time was 00:44:11 with an elapsed time of 00:56:18.

I've also noticed that the estimated time of the remaining jobs has been reduced by about one-half of original estimate. As I noted in an earlier post, my quad was busy on a lot of other "things" yesterday so that may have affected the estimated time.

Also received two beta WU on my slower dual-core (AMD Athlon II X2) and they are showing an estimated 2-1/2 hour run time so will hopefully run a bit faster. That machine typically only crunches WCG projects, however yesterday it was converting some video files so that may also be affecting time estimates.

All-in-all, these seem to be running fairly fast. Please send more...!

March 17th is getting closer with every passing day!

Blue Betas. Awesome. Congrats to all who have one and patience to all who want one. They come along about what - once in a blue moon?
