Any machine that doesn't achieve a certain speed is more than likely running something in the back ground that it shouldn't.
Indeed. Most likely Norton

My CPU is the weak point in my system, but I haven't yet found a game that causes it to struggle so I don't care. I can probably overclock it a bit anyway, if I could be bothered.0 -

I know my computer is getting slower by the day but compared to the rest of the results I think I should go shopping for a new one.

EDIT: Loving the disclaimer on their helpscreen:
"We don't care the problems which may be caused by using or running Super PI program on your machine!"
Unequivocal and to the point! (Translation thing maybe?)
EDIT:
59.484s with no regular applications running (Firefox and Thunderbird open before) and Prime95 (which I run as a service) stopped.
A tad slow perhaps? (Looking at other people's times with similar specs.) AVG Free running in background. Is there a rule of thumb for expected completion times based on speed and type of processor and RAM? Or is it more complicated than that?0
