Linux port of Alex Kan's?
Sutaru Tsureku:
If it's the same hardware (QX6700) and I switch from WinXP AK V8 to LINUX AK V8, I would see more crunchingspeed?
Which LINUX would be the best (performance) for only crunching rig?
Raistmer:
On T2330 SSSE3/SSE3 32/64 bit linux versions were slower than corresponding x86 Windows ones.
The same picture (for SSE3) was observed on AMD Venice.
So linux versions preferable for linux guys only IMHO. No need to switch to linux only to run SETI for now.

I would say it's exactly the opposite, linux app seems faster than the windows version.
My machine is a Q6600 G0 OCed to 3.11GHz (345 FSB) and DDR2-1150 with ubuntu 8.04 64 bit. This is my working machine, not a dedicated cruncher and I'm always running a massive 25000 file torrent in the background.
In all workunits mentioned below, my wingman also has a Q6600.
Take a look in these workunits: 271702837, 272171135, 272059004, 271665803 (all Win32). Taking into account my overclock (even with 100% scaling), linux is faster than windows.
In this workunit, 272124897, with Win64, still linux is faster.
Finally in workunit 271664596 (Win32) my wingman has a bigger overclock than me, but still my linux machine is faster.

Glad to hear it's working well for you sunu. We'll keep an eye on performance figures to find out if this applies to other machines as well.
Cheers, Jason

It is working great! :-D
I'm finding a similar situation.
Q6600 box 9x333mhz.
I did a comparison on the same machine (sample size of one) between the Win32 ssse3 client run as a service and the Linux64 ssse3 client in user space, kde3 desktop and the Linux client seems around 3 minutes faster on a 73 credit work unit. Sadly I don't have a copy of Win64 to use for a comparison.
I'm wondering if the testing referred to on the T2330, which I take to be a laptop, took place with the default power saving and freq daemons running.
