It now takes my pc 4Hours+ to do a work unit, it use to take about 2hours 10min. Then to add insult to injury my pc clames about 80 credits (used to be about 30 before this so called upgrade) yet I only receive about 30 credits. I know this is about the science and not about gaining credits but this is now just a waste of everyones time. If it takes twice as long to do the work, your only going to get half the amount of work done.

Running sah classic is about the same speed as running under xp home but i have found that running some things (especially The Sims 2) run a lot better. I've gone back to running xp home now but thanks for the reply.

But having said that, my pc would do a work unit in 2hours 10 min using the old seti@home 3.03 cli (running win xp home)
