Discrepancy between Benchmark numbers and actual numbers

[XakEp]

Ok so here are the results of the testing -

hashcat64.exe -m1000 -a3 d:\hashlists\Random\test.txt --status --status-timer=2

-w1
Speed.#*.........: 41946.0 MH/s

-w2
Speed.#*.........: 60583.7 MH/s

-w3
Speed.#*.........: 51977.1 MH/s

-w4
Speed.#*.........: 52479.2 MH/s


Playing with the pagefile, it's being Windows so it's a fight to get it RIGHT. I'll post when I have something definitive. I'm tempted to just dual boot to linux and test that to see if I can eliminate the OS as the problem.

I also have a different CPU/MB/RAM combo I can toss in. The MB in there now supports a max of 32GB, but my other board goes much higher, but only has 32GB in it so this is something I can do if needed.

Thanks for the pointers, back to work!
