L2 would definitley help. If you are lucky, you are running a DEC Alpha 21164 with NT 4.0 and have 1 MB of L2 cache. THe P4 architecture is all rightm if you wanna be an artsie fartsie type, but than, you would not need a PC. THE AMD architecture, if I remember correctly,, has like, six math angines built into the core, and that really makes it fly for number cruching, like the grid :) Unlike Intel, which spent all their mony on mmx and dancing bunnies in a lab for commercials :) My AMD XP 2800 + is benchmarked to be 50% faster than a 3.5 Ghz P4. ANd I dont use alot of ram, I totally smoke the standard comparison of the grid computer. Its not always the size of the speed, but the architecture, and L2 is part of architecture in the fact that the faster a CPU gets, the faster it needs instructions, so get lots of L2 load it up before they are called, thats the theory and it seems to work for most except for intel.

Hello Niel12345
Can you tell me exactly how long each work unit for FAH takes on your machine? Thanks
