    Hi,

    A couple of questions:
    What speed is your Hard Drive (5400rpm, 4200rpm)?
    How is your power and processor management set? Make sure that when you are running Super Pi, you have the CPU ramped up to full speed. If your system has your 2.8GHz CPU ramped down to 1.6GHz (or another lower than optimal speed), that will definitely affect it's performance completing the Super Pi task.


    Cheers,

    Stevo

    Thanks for your response.The frecuency id test shows the processor speed at 2.8 mgz. I made my question based on the responce of others who have the same or similar notebooks.The time to complete the super pi most be between 3.25 to 3.50 and my notebook takes 6.28 or about double the time.
