I was the middle figure of the claimed results. if you look at the link, 2 claimed more credit than i did,two claimed less, this is what i dont get. I did do the wu in half the time they did. Could that have something to do with it????

This happens quite frequentley to me. It does not matter
if i am valadating against another windows machine or a linux box. I get about 1/2 the credits the others get that returned the same results. Any explanation would be aprreciated.
Here is an example: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/workunit.php?wuid=572145

The other 4 results were granted 7.93 where as i recieved 3.97

My Athlon64 3200 takes about 24 minutes.
I did notice about a minute or so improvement when i upgraded from pc2700 to pc3200 DDR. Might just be coincidence, not sure.
