pc getting slower?

[64dragon]

either my pc is has gotten slower over the past 3 weeks or wcg projects have gotten bigger. last week at some point my pc got a new task and it said it would take 34hrs!!! and the other task would take 16hrs, they both ended up taking around 10hrs but up until then i've never had anything longer than 8.5hrs since then i've been consistantly getting projects that take 10-12hrs and occasionaly one that will be around 7hrs.

i had ran the benchmark a few weeks ago and got
2/11/2008 1:26:25 PM|| 2056 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
2/11/2008 1:26:25 PM|| 5200 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

i just ran it again and got
3/2/2008 12:22:30 PM|| 2000 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
3/2/2008 12:22:30 PM|| 5072 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

i've not changed any parts let alone put in something slower than what i have.

any ideas why this happend? i'm running xp pro 64bit and rest of specs in sig

Unfortunately bionc benchmarks are not very consistent. When I rebench my rigs I used to run it 3x but lately it seems the first bench is the best. So, now I just run it once.

So, dont worry about it just rebench it later or tomorrow and just do it once and you'll be fine.
