SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 or SSE4.1?

SkOrPn:
Thanks, yes I just copied all the files in the "Files to install" folder to the "setiathome.berkeley.edu" folder saying yes to the replace files confirmation. Didnt know if the procedure was the same as the initial install. Processes were stoped before I copied and replaced the files.

Thanks again

I am using SSE 3 and my computer has win XP Pro 32 on a Dell XPS notebook

3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
16 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
2048 Megabytes Installed Memory

I have noticed that I am 2 to 3 times slower in processing WU then others. Is there something I can do to speed my computer without overclocking.

Thanks  Rocky

The SETI user search doesn't yield any matches for 'rockyn': presumably (like me) you have a different handle on your user account there.

Could you post your User ID and/or the Host ID for your XPS: then people can look at your recent results and see if they reveal anything.

That makes the machine in question host 4598441 - a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 3 Stepping 4].

You're showing 2 CPUs: others will know the P4 range better than I do, but I think that makes it a single core with hyperthreading. The general rule of thumb is that hyperthreading gives you about 30% extra crunching power over a single CPU of the same speed.

Your SETI tasks times are similar to mine on a single P4 @ 2.0GHz. But you do two tasks at once, so you should get through twice as many as me.

Allowing 50% performance boost above mine for the higher clock speed, and 30% above that for the HT, and you end up with pretty close to double. I'd say your computer is performing as expected.
