    Cool Help needed from Windows XP Pro X64 users

    Hi, We have reports from people using Boinc 5.10.30 under Windows Pro XP64 on AMD dual cores that they are getting excessively high benchmarks and claim not tweaking their client_state files. The integer score is about 40 times what it should be. If any one who has seen the problem then could they turn on the <benchmark_debug> flag, run benchmarks and PM me the log. If you need any help turning on the flag then PM me and I will happily guide you through it as we really need some help here. I know I can rely on you guys and thanks in advance, Dave.

    I have it on my intel q6600, but no insanely high scores, not even with the crunch3r client

    Thanks Frederic, There is a thought that they may be running the X32 client under Win XP Pro X64. Is this possible? Dave.

    Thanks Frederic, Anyone else using this set up without problems? Negative as well as positive replies would be a help. Dave.

    Hi

    Running BOINC 5.10.30 (32 bit) on an AMD X2 5200 under Windows XP x64.

    No inflated credit that I can see.

    Logic is the art of being wrong with confidence.

    Sorry, not running a 64bit Windows.

    I had a complaint about exceptionally high benchmarks from my little core duo T2300 1.66GHz laptop from some whinger complaining to SerVal at GerSim. I ran my CPU benchmarks again and copied them to SerVal so he could quote that back at the complainant.

    Thanks all for the prompt responses. I'll leave it over the weekend to give everyone else a chance to make any observations and then post back to Berkley on Monday.
    Off topic, I see our glamorous granny has reappeared in time for the spring! Dave.
