    I downloaded and ran the Wprime benchmark a few days ago, and I'm getting a time of 50.46 seconds for the 32M test. You can get it from here:

    Unlike SuperPi, this is a multithreaded benchmark, so it's great for testing all the Core 2 Duos and Athlon X2s out there.

    I thought my score was a bit low though, I was hoping I could get somewhere in the 30 to 40 second range. Is it normal to get such a low score for my processor?
