Distributed Computing Speed Calculations

Add together all the MHz (not PR rating!) from a group of CPU's, then put that number in the applicable field.

For example: If I have 2 P2-400's 1 Celeron 450's, 1 Athlon 700 and 2 PentiumMMX 200's, I would put 1250 (2 x 400 + 450) in the PPro/P2/cel field, 700 in the Athlon field and 400 in the PentiumMMX field. My total rate would be 6.51Mk/s putting out approximately 2095 blocks per day.

Most of the rc5 speeds were based on numbers gathered from the distributed.net speed page, or from the AnandTech Distributed Computing Forum. The GF speeds were submitted by KifArU. Thanks!
