I'm looking through your results for this computer and there appears to be something unusual for your computer. Here is an example:

On a FightAIDS@Home workunit here are the cpu time and claimed credit for the three results in the quorum (the granted credit for the job was 60.1):

5.3 hours 58.3
11.1 hours 69.8
3.3 hours 52.1

The 5.3 hour result was returned by a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ with 3GB of RAM.

The 11.1 hour result (yours) was run on a Intel(R) CPU T2500 @ 2.00GHz with 2GB of RAM.

The 3.3 hour result was returned by a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.66GHz with 2 GB of RAM.

The fact that your computer took 11.1 hours to run the result while the other computers ran it much faster (it should be in the same ballpark with the AMD) suggests that something is slowing down your computer. Does this computer use other applications that use up most of the memory?

As indicated by the Windows Task Manager at the moment:

wcg_faah... CPU 49, Mem Usage 101,800K
wcg_faah(2)... CPU 49, Mem Usage 93,744K

There are quite a few processes (45) but most of them are at CPU 0 and less than 10,000K Mem Usage.

Physical memory
total: 2095020
available: 1244632

I'm not sure this information is relevant, but if you need anything specific I'd be happy to provide it.

Most of the time, I'm am not on the computer while it works on the units. When I'm there, I'm usually working with multiple applications such as Word/Excel/Firefox and a couple other programs, but nothing really demanding as far as I know.

- The BIOS was flashed about 6 months ago; it is not, however, the latest version.

- Hyperthreading? (Not on purpose if I am doing it since I do not know what that is; the computer is working on two faah units at the same time...(?) )

I then did two things

(1)
I download and ran CPUZ:

(2) I then followed some instructions on some website:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=60416

And ran CPUZ again. Notice core speed & multiplier (which have double). Now I have no idea if that did anything but it seems it cannot have made the situation worse(?)

As I was saying in my first post "I guess there is no point fixing anything as any lower claim by my computer will only result in a lower average for everyone."

CLAIMED / GRANTED
44.7 / 46.9
87.6 / 96.9
53.1 / 55.3
79.0 / 83.9
10.1 / 10.1
11.7 / 11.2
11.8 / 12.1
59.4 / 62.0
66.5 / 76.1
60.4 / 69.0
71.5 / 80.1


etc.

These are Genome and FAAH units. It seems to be working quite well now. That being said, I am making less points nowadays, obviously!
