Why are these WUs failing?

You have to link them to your host, as links for users results are only valid for the user him/herself. As you only have one host, and that one not hidden, it wasn't that hard to guess ;)

Just to show yo, here are mine: user and host.

HTH you could try updating your cards drivers.

Oh, yes. I just installed my card and I have been using the drivers that came with the card.

How many minutes should the ACEMD - GPU molecular dynamics 6.03 (cuda) WU last? I am using Nvidia GTX 275 card and the latest drivers. Currently: 20 minutes and only 4%. Is this ok?

Does the checkpointing work?

Yes that's fine. The time elapsed for prcentage done is not linear. Checkpointing does work.
When and if the unit completes you will be able to get the time per step for the unit and compare it to another machine that has done a similar unit on the same card. Post it here and someone will tell you.

That is about the time you might expect.

Completed. Run time: 30,100.93 seconds, CPU time: 10,587.66 seconds.

Does it look normal to you? My card is ASUS GTX 275.

Great to know.

It took a bit over 8 hours to finish that WU. Is it normal?

Here are the details someone will be along soon to tell you if it's normaal because i don't have a 275 :(

m1-IBUCH_501c_pYEEI_100304-22-80-RND5562_0
# Device 0: "GeForce GTX 275"

# Clock rate: 1.40 GHz
# Total amount of global memory: 924188672 bytes
# Number of multiprocessors: 30
# Number of cores: 240
# Time per step: 44.541 ms
# Approximate elapsed time for entire WU: 27838.123 s

EDIT TO ADD:

Just had a look at your system and think it would be faster if you had a faster CPU and more than 2GB of RAM but otherwise looks normal for that system. The CPU is needed to feed the GPU.
