Problem with Athon 64 3700+

[Python]

I have an athlon 3700+ that is taking days and up to weeks to finish work units. Is this normal? Current unit info from FAHMON:

Core: Amber
Project 2170
Credit 234 Points
Downloaded 2d 10h 00mn ago

It is 60% done after 2.5 days and FAHMON is reporting that this CPU is putting out 34 ppd?!

I have Pentium 3's that can put out more points per day than that!

Not good, you should be getting at least 140-210 ppd out of that chip.

-Check for any background tasks chewing up cycles.
-Try running with -advmethods to get the bonus Amber units while they're still out there.

Is this CPU over clocked and how far? Also, how much RAM is on board?

Good stuff to know

I got more than that out of a PIII 700 on crappy gromacs work units. There is definitely something eating up cycles or something wrong with the system. Without a lot more information I wouldn't be able to guess what the problem is.
