Geekbench score changing.

[Lou G.]

My 2011 MBP, i7, 8gig, GB score was 11044 the day I received it a month or so ago.

I checked it this morning and it was down to 10915 with all the aps shut down and power cord attached. I did a reboot and tried it, it was down to 10896.

The only thing I have done is go with the software upgrade as they become available.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Lou

any apps or other processes running that weren't when you first tested?

No, I turned everything off.

I forgot I had the "Boom" software was running. False alarm, sorry.

Being a newbie, I had no idea something like Boom could have such an impact. Back to normal.

You're speaking about a difference of 1%.

You're speaking about a difference of 1%.

Yeah, I guess I was being paranoid. You see this MPB is a replacement for a "Lemon" 2010 MBP that was a real PIA . That together with my Mac newbie status got me nervous.


Thanks
