Windows SSE4-Core 2 32-bit V5.15, R-1.41

My Core 2 Duo went from 1700 RAC to flirting with 1900 using the SSE4 optimized app.  I am very happy with it. 

One thing keeps me away from the idea of building a quad core- the price and what it might do to my electric bill.  TWO things keep me from building a quad core, the price, what it might do to my electric bill and I have no more room left for computers.  THREE things ;)...

This host of mine has returned two invalid results, here and here.  It has run the optimised application for all but a very few of its returned results, but as it's new it hasn't returned that many.  I think it's probably failed to validate these 2 out of about 60 results.

I'll keep an eye on the failure rate.  If it stays realitvely high, I'll switch applications.  It's a shame because this one is so fast.

[I used the relevant Chicken application for my AthlonXP which was also great, and never failed to validate once that I can remember].

You may want to look at my post to the S@H NC forum for more detail. The next versions will have improved accuracy and better speed than 1.41, meanwhile the SSE2 versions of 2.0 come close to 1.41 in speed on Core 2 systems and have not exhibited any validation problems.

Many users with Core 2 systems have concluded that since 1.41 gives them higher average daily credits than 2.0, they're doing more useful work for the project by using 1.41 even if there's an occasional invalid result.
