Hi Guys,

I set up my new system and installed Boinc (with Seti@home)

Ran the CPU benchmark and getting :-

CPU's - 8
3205 MIPS (Whetstone)
7506 MIPS (Drystone)

This doesn't seem anywhere near high enough?

Just to compare using Sisoft Sandra 2009

Processor Arithmetic (My Core i7)- 92.2 GIPS
Same again with Q6600 Quad Core @ 2.4Ghz - 53.28 GIPS

Is this a fault with Boinc? I am still quite new to all this, but i expected this CPU to crunch through the data a lot faster
I have tried disabling Hyper Threading, it didn't make any difference to my CPU result (but got me a 20% drop on Sandra)

thanks

EDIT

Results from another use found on a forum

Conroe E6600 @ 3.6Ghz, 9x400, p5b dlx
WinXP, 5.8.11
~3380/7000

Pretty much the same as mine, although my system should be far, far faster?
Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz
Asus P6T Deluxe Intel X58
OCZ 6GB DDR3 PC3 1600Mhz
2 x 4870X2 Quadfire

I think that is your score per CPU. Still I think its slow. My E5200 gets around that much. Try closing all applications except BOINC and then running the benchmark.
