Ahh you are correct, I didn't even notice that. I may still be the reigning non-I7 contender.
I thought it was the other way around?

x64 has double the registers and native 64-bit integer support.
x86 doesn't, so it needs to be emulated.
ok so what di i do to fix my problem? how do i emulate it?

Just follow the directions in the original post--instead of selecting 25M, select "Use SuperPi increments."

It's an OS thing. You need run use a 64-bit OS to enable the 64-bit versions.
It should've given you a red message saying that you're running a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit capable machine.
Basically, there's 6 versions of the program. (They're inside the "Binaries" folder.)
When you open "y-cruncher.exe", it examines your system to determine the best one to use.
For your particular case, it wants to run "x64 SSE3 ~ Kasumi". This binary is specially tuned for AMD Phenom.
But since you're running a 32-bit OS, it can't. So it must default the x86 SSE3 binary - which is a lot slower.

You see the difference between x86 and x64?
Yup but, i'll still be using 32bit 90% of the time

Yea, I know the feeling. I just got knocked out of the top three on the 3DMark thread. Sorry

LOL, no biggie. I'm still third place in the 256m and second place in the 512m. I'm sure some I7's and some high clocked C2Q's will put me down LOL. I'm hoping to improve my scores some once I install my new motherboard and TRUE cpu cooler to try to hit 4.0ghz stable. Even 3.9ghz gets toasty with the GeminII cooler, about 68c.
