Pre-release tester with x64 Windows & SSE3 P4 needed

[Mumps]

Here's the Dempsey with all 4 Intel test apps.

Here's Irwindale #2 again with all 4 Intel apps.

And lastly the other Irwindale.

Not a lot. but could make some diffeerence.  I beleive Irwindale has twice the size L2 cache than Nocona, and some attempts to reduce the idle power usage.

(I prefer Nescafe Blend 43 over Nocona anyway  )

OK.  Actually, cpuz reports the Irwindale has double the L2 cache of the Nocona.  But to complicate matters you reminded me that that one system actually has one Irwindale and one Nocona CPU in it.  It was upgraded to Dual Processor last fall and HP sent the Nocona as the appropriate upgrade.  Good luck identifying which of the processors actually ran the test. :-)
I could pull the Irwindale later today and get a positive test on just the Nocona if it would help.

If you didn't use affinity lock they both could participate. Just CPU-Z queried one of them.

Ok, thanks.
There is no speedup for Intel-specific build on these XEONs.
But both x64 AK_v8b builds can be treated as optimal ones for this moment.

@Mike O
Could you run one more test case, please.
This one has Intel-specific build that can be slightly more faster (I hope) htan Intel/AMD generic one.

You got it I will run this test now.. Sorry im behind here.. I work a lot.. to much it seems lately.
I am doing my best to let these run with NOTHING else running.. all apps shut down including boinc.. and the core clients.
Will post tomorrow.

here ya go
I have a P4 640 3.2ghz 2M/800fsb Its PGA775 and the mobo has a pic-e with a 9800 gt 1gig ram.
I have a 3.4 Pentium D dual on its way to replace this CPU. It too supports EM64T(INTEL 64) as the 640 does

Ok, thanks. It seems Prescott didn't feel any difference between Intel-specific and general build.

Thanks for your work on this Apps and the CUDA CPU/GPU team mod. A very nice job on  that. Hope some more of the bugs are fixed but even now.. Im like'in the results.
So.. my prescott isnt any faster running the 64bit? That really doesn't surprise me. This chip has just enough 64 bit to get by. Im pretty sure the later CPUs are much better dealing with 64 bit than this old p4. Mabey the Pentium D will score better.
When its installed. I will re-run the tests again.

Why? It's faster with x64 app. It just didn't feel difference between 2 x64 apps. But x64 SSE3 the best for him.

My guess is better kernel driver probably is a part of it (no legacy code or pointer address space conversion to go through either).  Win32 drivers have a lot of legacy code in them to handle many diverse setups. 64 bit drivers can generally be leaner, especially WDM ones if available, and can assume the availability of SSE & SSE2, which means fast streaming loads, cacheability instructions and and non-temporal stores can be used.

So.. is there a team V8 64 bit for only SSES? One that works with CPU/GPU mod you did?
Also.. Is there a 64bit for the SSSES CPUs that will work with the team mod?

For normal AK_v8 (CPU) 64 bit SSE3 or higher only (because of library limitations, No Intel 64 bit SSE2-only CPUs were ever made AFAIK)
For Team mod (CPU+GPU), that requires the special builds of Raistmer's to function, so you'd have to check Raistmer's thread on his latest packages.

The question is who need such builds
What host config you have to want SSE-only build for using with CUDA-enabled GPU ?? I though such configs just don't exist.
There is V10a for SSE3 x64 and SSSE3 x64 already, look corresponding thread.
