Boo! I've just checked BM, I'm SSE2

First results using the new Super Chicken Soup are in and


My Intel T2300 on its old soup took 13,532.16 seconds for a 54.28 credit WU.
Its just done another 54.28 credit WU with the new soup in an amazing 8,757.44 seconds  :shock:

Lets hope it keeps this sort of performance increase for other WUs

Looks good! I will throw this on my chip and check it out as i would think a Q6600 has SSE3 (I hope).

And horrah for 64-bit!!  :D

***Edit***
If you have the Q6600 you can get the next version above SSE3 to use. Go for the SSSE3 option to get those extra cycles  

Tried the new soup on my D 3.0 (xp64) boinc said i only have sse2 but
did 3 WU's with no problem  :lol:
Had 1 result confirmed  :lol:  :lol:
My D 3.0 on xp64 .........3200 seconds
xenon 2.8 quad (darwin) 6500 seconds
28. summin credits granted  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Will give it a go on x32 in a few days, some important wu's to finish first!

Would I need to uninstall the old soup first? or will it install over the top of it?

Nah just close boinc ,put the new soup files in  the seti folder and restart ...Job done  :lol:

Yep, my P4D's said the same but they are SSE3 :thumbup:

For anyone not too sure if they have SSE3 capable machines, download CPUID and if it says SSE3 in the Instructions, then you have

Done that! Yes, I'm a SSE3 peep!

Thanks temujin, i have now completed my 1st WU using this new x64 bit ssse3 thingy and it works a treat!

5,179.22 seconds, or about 1 hour 20 ish  :D

32 & 64 bit Linux versions of Alex Kan's V8 posted on Crunch3r's site
hot diggity dang thats fast :D:D

edit
a word of caution though
its best to report any completed WUs before installing,
on 1 of my hosts, boinc trashed 40 WUs including 3 ready to report
