While using Firefox with a ton of stuff open. I'll do another soon.


Much better than when I did it on my old setup.

Now I have:

AMD 3400+ Venice 2.2ghz
ASUS A8R-MX
Winfast Geforce 6200 Pci x16 at 600/680
512MB of crap RAM
450W PSU

Sorry to revive this thread, but I got a new laptop and ive been itching to try out the performance of it, thats with about 60 process running in the backround

Here are the specs:
Nvidia 288MB shared vieo
2GB DDR2 RAm
AMD Turion X2 1.6

Vista ftmfw. 👍
 
My new laptop, as well:

1G DDR2 RAM @ 667
256M ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
 
Oo, I remember this thread.



15.766 seconds, although now I'm struggling to get within a second of that. I think I set that ages ago when I was tooling around with memory timings, I've slowed everything back down since.
 
Problem with this app is it isn't multi threaded... Someone needs to find a multi threaded version for those running dual and quad core setups ;)

Are you sure about that? I don't see any single cores dominating the dual cores.
 
No, they don't dominate, just because most single cores are simply older... but the difference in calculation speeds is not properly shown if only one core is used.
 
In looking for a multi-core capable Pi Calculator, I came across this. If anyone is interested, we can shift over to it to compare, as it will use all cores for calculating.

My computers at work:
P4 2.4G:

I'll need to run this on my T7200 when I get home, but I'll probably get to it this weekend.

2m 29.688s

Go on, laugh. :indiff:

I tried running Super Pi on my Win95 machine (133MHz, 16MB RAM - what a beast of a computer :lol:)... and Super Pi responded by crashing every time I tried to run ANY of the tests. Yes, even 16K made it crash. :lol:
I did get an initial value going to 1M of 45 seconds, however.
 
Sharky.

Don't feel bad. I tried to run it on the machine before my new laptop and it did the same thing. It was a P3 350MHz with 256MB. 350MHz to Dual core 2.0GHz. I'll take that upgrade anyday. :D
 
I don't feel bad one bit, I only wanted to run it on the 95 for a laugh :lol:

That 2m 29.7 by my XP comp up there ^ was with IE6 and MSN 7.5 running along with Super Pi, so to see just how fast (slow?) it really is, I ran it just before with no other programs open.

16.629s :bowdown: Bow to your new lord!

E6750 @ 3.2GHz

All times:Detailed run:

Edit: Can a mod edit or delete the first post so somebody else can update the leaderboards?
 
Still messing with Bios settings.

I'm having to up the voltage on the FSB and CPU which I don't like to do long term.
Still not bad air cooled and quad core.
 
What was your voltage raised to for that run Mich? I'm running 1.325 with 1384Mhz FSB. It looked like the temps were going to go up quite a bit if I tried 1420+ due to the required voltage hike.

Also, what are your temps as reported during a TAT stress test?

(Intel Thermal Analysis Tool)

Edit: TAT may not work correctly with a quad-core...you should be able to test out two cores at least. *shrugs*
 
I raised the FSB +.2 and set the CPU to 1.350 volts. Its default to 1.30 volts. My temps under load were 48-50 c. I've already turned it all back down. I don't have any extra cash laying around to replace overclocked burned up parts. Right now my Cpu is running 2.9ghz w F@H running in the background.
edit: This is still way over what I was running until I change the ram divider. Before the best I could do 2.5ghz
