The weird thing is that I was getting the good credits for a long time, and then all of a sudden it just went way down. I can't think of anything that was changed. CPU is PhenomII x6 1100t and there is also a GTX 460 in there crunching Primegrid at the same time the 5870 is crunching Moo! - maybe something got into conflict?
Oh yeah. A couple more things:

1) With faster cards (58xx+), you may want to reserve threads. With my dual 5870 (remember it runs a single task across all GPUs), I had to reserve a full two threads on my 1st gen i7). No difference with my Core 2 machines and a 4870, if I reserved a thread (in this case that is a whole core) or not.

2) Like I said, if you don't define which "core" you use, the app decides for you. It it not always constant. It seems to change randomly. That could account for your changes in credits.

And to be extra clear, when Moo/DNETC talks about "core", they are not talking about CPU cores. They are talking about which sub-app to use for crunching a particular task.
