I'm a little confused after reading the wiki page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Computation_credit

The first section has :
the Cobblestone (named after Jeff Cobb of SETI@home), is 1/200 day of CPU time on a reference computer that does 1,000 FLOPS
i.e. 1 Cobblestone = 432,000 FLOP

In the second section :
(Remember that a 1 GigaFLOP machine, running full time, produces 200 units of credit in 1 day).
i.e. 1 Cobblestone = 432,000,000,000 FLOP

I think the first section is incorrect, and should be 1 Cobblestone is 1/200 day on a CPU that does 1,000 MFLOPS (or 1 GFLOP), does that sound right? And if so can someone fix the wiki?

Cheers
