Speak for yourself. :-(

As an added "bonus" all of the work units that I've been downloading have come back with the same error:

My uploads don't seem to be working either. I've also got enough WUs to last a few more days (and if the benchmarks were better, I'd have more...but that's an issue for a different thread) but I hope I can connect before I run out.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Athlon 64 Benchmark Times - Way Off? (Message 2569)
Posted 29 Jun 2004 by Profile James Michael Sambrook
Post:
Before we get started, I'm running BOINC v3.19 on Windows XP Professional, using all of my time on SETI@Home.

I've been crunching on my Athlon 64 for about a week or so. When I run the benchmarks, I am told that the WUs should take approximated 2:50 to crunch. In reality, the times are closer to 2:00, give or take 10 minutes. Are the benchmarks this far off for everyone, or do they just not work properly for 64 bit processors?

Just curious...
