I have two GT 240 512MB cards running in an i3-350 system, with Windows XP x64, nvidia drivers 301.42. It is getting regular work units with the 4.2 app, and run times are very high, up to 129 hours for 21,000 credit, or 61 hours for 9500 credit. Is this normal, or should I downgrade the driver so as only to get work units for 3.1 apps, or do something else? I have HT on but only using 1 thread for WCG.

I'd say downgrade the drivers (lower than 295) and then select only Standard WUs and not the Longs in your GPUGrid preferences.

Thanks - Steve
