Hi, I was just wondering... is it possible that the granted credit for every WU I crunch is *always* less than a half of my claimed credit?
Does it depend on the amount of RAM memory or the kind of computer--? I don't think mine is such an old one, it's a Pentium III. And I run 128 MBs of RAM, that shouldn't be *so* little... I'm afraid that could be due to some wrong settings when I installed Boinc. Or is it just okay for a computer like mine? ;)
Thanks in advance (and sorry for the weird question �__�)

hi leaden

and i run at one of my computer (its a pentium 3 700 mhz)

wow, so if i get more ram i will get more credits ???

heh, nah, kidding, your pc is probably doing it very slow and wants alot of credit for it. if more people do it faster, you the credit they got and not the one you claimed.

check your results page, look the a workunit and compare the granted. eg:

It has absolutly nothing to do with the Amount of Ram your PC has, the slower PC's will almost always Claim More Credit than they will actually get because they take longer to Crunch the WU's, while the faster PC's will Claim Less Credit than they some times get because they Crunch the WU's faster and generally the Credit Granted will be some where in the middle...
