Time per frame seems v. long

I just started folding yesterday and i was reading threads with people talking about c2d's doing <10 min per frame, so i checked mine and im getting around 20 minutes from both cores. The PC is being used slightly during this time, but is mostly idle and there has been no gaming. Have i set it up right?

Have to say that after i installed i tried to run the text client before i realised it was already running. Cant say i even notice that it is running!

It's:
gromacs core
project 2414
Credit 600

benchmark shows avg time per frame at 21 minutes and 399 ppd

Is that working correctly then?

That could be it then, im only running at 2.6 ghz

My system is 6600 at 2.6 (will raise it, but had a problem with MB not recognising HD and did a BIOS restore)
2 gb gskill
1900xt (may start using this soon)

Update - completed the 600 pt units and started another pair of 600 pt units.

The benchmark avg. has risen to about 430ish - but its around 470 at the moment for the newly started units. Now running at 3.1 ghz (orthos stable for 1.5 hrs, so should be fine)

*EDIT* read the wrong bit, the new project is running at 500 ppd
