    Talking new beta client for windows much faster

    at least I stopped distributed computing due to lack of resources... but I read through this one:

    Dear friends,
    ....
    In addition, thanks to some excellent work by Craig Johnston, client versions
    2.9105-510 and above contain three new OGR cores. Depending on your CPU type,
    the new cores may provide a significant speed improvement over the cores
    used in previous client versions. These speed enhancements will shorten
    the time required to search the final stubspace. You are welcome to try a
    pre-release client containing these new cores, which you can download from
    http://www.distributed.net/download/prerelease.php. As always, please report
    bugs using our bug database available at http://bugs.distributed.net/.

    So load up those CPUs with fresh OGR-27 work, while enjoying an improved
    noderate, and together we'll crunch through the final stubspace with fury!
    ...
    so I downloaded the current and the new beta client and did some comparison:

    would be a good time to upgrade client software

    Awesome, that's a pretty significant improvement! Thanks for the heads-up.

    I upgraded the 2 PS3s,
    OGR-NG: using core #1 (KOGE 3.0 Hybrid).
    was 137 Mnodes/sec]
    63.04:22:58.28 - [137.29 Mnodes/s]
    63.04:40:48.80 - [137.35 Mnodes/s]
    63.05:14:54.66 - [137.39 Mnodes/s]
    now
    0.03:28:48.21 - [23.46 Mnodes/s]
    0.03:38:52.07 - [45.91 Mnodes/s]
    0.03:39:14.83 - [69.35 Mnodes/s]
    0.03:51:35.21 - [89.26 Mnodes/s]
    0.04:11:48.43 - [105.80 Mnodes/s]
    0.04:25:06.65 - [124.24 Mnodes/s]


    oh, and I snagged the CUDA 2.2 beta client for RC5

    152 Mkeys/sec with GTX 275
    126 Mkeys/sec with 9800GT
    101 Mkeys/sec with 9600GSO
