    Ok, How do i do this? I know there was a whole post on this and it seemed a bit difficult but I'll give it a try. I'll try it tomorrow on my cruncher.

    Here is anotehr strange thing happening, It says I'm finishing wu in 1500 to 1800 sec. I'm watching the wu's and they are finishing in about 10 to 12 mins. Below the reporting time. Another thing I noticed is that the last 40 to 70 sec. a wu crunches is completed by only one or the three cores. Perhaps the counter take the number of seconds it take to complete a wu and multiplies it be the three cores?

    Thanks F$!!!

    That was very easy and says Core 2 is much faster. Switch was made. Thank you again F$.

    There are two different times reported. Don't confuse run time with CPU time. The better the GPU apps will have a smaller CPU time vs. run time.

    Also, there are two different tasks (maybe). There is a longer app for 58xx+. Or was that DNETC? I don't recall. So make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

    What do you think about these run times?

    The is my machine (1st gen i7-920 w/ dual 5870, and only 6 threads (75%) crunching): http://moowrap.net/results.php?hosti...state=3&appid=

    It looks like the times are about the same. And you have three GPUs?

    But I notice that last task took way less time and paid about the same. Was that perhaps the first one after you reserved three threads?
