Hmm, indeed that is quite weird. I've never done a side-by-side comparison to have noticed that disturbance in the for... er... folding@home point system. 😉

I've noticed the same thing.

It must be some strange artifact of using a P4 as the reference system.

Not bashing P4s, just assuming that the reference system is either very slow on p696 or very fast on p638 relative to an Athlon.

I got like 400 points tonight. I must have had two big tasks.

Of coures which of those 2 Tinker wu's shows up most often???? I know which damn 1 I get most often..... 😉
Actually, maybe thats why the points difference? The 638 wu is more prevalent, or sent out more often??
