Memory speed has no effect on F@h performances. A Duron even performs on par with a similarly clocked Thunderbird, just like your Celeron fares just as poorly as a 2.0GHz Pentium 4 Northwood would. The memory footprint of the F@hcore is very small, so it fits within the cache easily. Wheter you use PC2100, PC2700 or even PC100 makes little to no difference.blakerwry said:I'm sure the pc2700 helped the athlon... I bet if the celery had the pc2700 and the Athlon had the 2100 things would be equal... but it just shows you how slow the northwood core still is compared to the palomino(1.47gHz) clock for clock.
SETI@home improves has memory bandwidth increase, but not F@h. That's why we tend to prefer Athlon to anything from Intel for this stuff.
