I think this is accurate as I have a P-III 800MHz and under
seti@home V3.0 CLI client I never finished a
WU under
3.4 hours. My average time is about 4.7 hours ...

I have a Thunderbird 800 and I have completed a wu in under 3hrs..
The average is between 4-5. I think the fact is some wu are shorter that
others. When all is said, the Thunderbird appears to have the edge over
PIII

One change: I couldn't add correctly and my laptop (the P3 700) has 192
megs of RAM, not 196. There's no practical difference but for the sake of
correctness you might want to change it.
Two comments: One, I don't
believe for one second that the top two results used 3.03. The P3 does seem
to be slightly faster with SETI@home than Thunderbirds, but there's no way
an 800MHz P3 would finish WUs in under 4 hours on average with 3.03. If the
user meant two work units in 8 hours, that's much more plausible. The same
goes for the P3 933- it wouldn't be that fast with 3.03, but would with 3.0.
I'd ask anyone who didn't specify a version to say which one they're
using.
Two, it wouldn't hurt to put in what chipsets the systems have.
Especially on older systems, the chipset can make a big difference, but it
can make a significant difference even on newer
systems.

My

It will continue to be
updated daily as results keep coming in.
It seems clear so far that the Pentium III's are
dominating as far as speed is concerned, even over much faster processors
like the AMD Thunderbirds and Athlons. It's gotta be that 1 MB of L2
cache.
Thanks to all that have
participated so far.
