>>Those PCs can't be single CPU... can they? <<
Sure can. It is total points/total CPU hours under your user name. This stat is based on however many PCs are active in your UD username.
UD software does NOT take advantage of multiple CPUs. In fact multiple CPU MBs cause all kinds of no fun since UD only uses one of the CPUs on those boards. See the SMP topics on the UD Member to Member Support forums.
So IF you only have one PC and it is say ... a P4 2.4 533 with
three sticks of 256 memory or more
10 gig available on your hard drive
and a broadband internet connection
it should make 30+ points per hour with a minor adjustment to your UD device profile to increase your allowed HD storage which it will never use, it would make this list in a matter of a few days. I imagine after the first result comes in .. if not just a few results would do it. That is why it is fair to the new guy who does not have to wait for results to pile up to gain something to take pride in. That stat is worldwide vs just team member vs team member.
Every working computer must be improved .... or replaced ...
