Thanks OzzFan, I was concerned about that myself. No need now.

Yet another reason not to base opinions off of benchmarks. Benchmarks are synthetic and can be affected by many things including the benchmarking software (BOINC in this case), other running apps that are actively running (such as an anti-virus scanner), etc.

I wouldn't worry about how BOINC benchmarks your system. Credits for SETI aren't based upon them anymore anyway. Credits are calculated by actual FPOP/s now.

I don't remember having these benchmarks on the previous CPU which was a HT 3GHz. I just upgraded it to a HT 3.20 Ghz, and the benchmarks show 1318/1327 per CPU. Should they really be THAT bad? On my athlon 3800+ they show in the low 3000s.
