Both wu's have almost the same timetable to crunch on my pc (nvidia 460 SE.) The difference...6000 credits less points when I chew on a Nathan FAX wu. Nathan FAX wu 30.000 credits. Nathan CB wu almost 36.000 credits. Can anybody please explain this credit difference?

I woke up this morning to a NATHAN_FAX WU running on my ASUS OCed 460. The longest time I've seen on other WUs is 16.5 hours. This one is scheduled to take a total of 29 hours!! I guess it's goodbye to bonuses with a NATHAN_FAX...

Your workunit is a NATHAN_FAX3, which is the 'elongated' version of the NATHAN_FAX. They made that long because there were some complaints about the so called 'long' workunits not taking much longer than the normal ones. As everyone can see, this series of workunits do take much longer than the short ones.

I have a I2R35_NATHAN_FAX3 that I estimate it's going to take 31 h.

called 'long' workunits not taking much longer than the normal ones

Normally long units took me before around 7h. So I see this reasanoble.
I see that the 3 means x3

Venec's host completed one of these really long NATHAN_FAX3 in 13 hours 17 minutes on a factory clocked GTX 580.
