(Computer specs via my sig.) 'Emma', my quickest machine, has only run 6.5 CP-boinc models as yet, so that difference may yet get somewhat larger over the longer term... <a href="http://www.nmvs.dsl.pipex.com/"><img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/cpdn/stats.php?userID=6&team=off&trans=off"></a> <a href="http://www.nmvs.dsl.pipex.com/">Distributed Mania</a> ID: 6563 · Reply Quote

When the php board goes back up it'll be the longest post. Ever ;-) Marj _________________________________ ID: 7542 · Reply Quote

My latest completed model was fastest. It shows an <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?field=Temperature&resultid=430707&phase=AT#graph">uncommon graph</a> Current model is pretty slow.
