Therefore some testers depending on their machines can run 24'/40 repeating and then call this 40/40 representated by a 2 Ghz speed. Other testers with slower machines would run 56'/40 again depending upon the speed of their machine. Each tester runs a bench mark on their machines to see what their speed is relative to 2 Ghz.
