    Just for the heck of it I thought I´d do a wprime benchmark on my R61. Now, it´s got a core 2 duo T8300 CPU @ 2,4GHz so I guess it should score better than 66 secs! I did the regular 32M test and I´ve got Vista Business SP2. Am I missing something here or shouldn´t the score be A LOT lower? :confused:

    P.S Yes, power settings was set at max performance

    Which version of wprime did you use? In some cases you have to manually set the program to generate 2 threads instead of 1. Check how many threads it used and set it to 2 and rerun the benchmark.
