As I am only running a Pentium Centrino 1.7 Ghz, I am wondering why my computer is going to finish a 1,000,000 turn test in only 4 hrs? its going through the entire test, but they suggested that a 2 Ghz machine would take 10 hrs, what is differnt about my machine?

BTW: its a Centrino 1.7 Ghz, With 1 Gb of ram and a 40 gb Hard drive... and a 533 mhz bus front, and it is a laptop, but I have no probs with overheating or frying so I am not worried about that.

Thanks for any insight and have a good day.

P.S. I am trying to sell my computer if anyone is interested...
