Firstly, download the attachment, super pi 1.5mb, its zipped, but you can open it from the zip.

Press the calculate button, and select 1mb and press okay, let it run its test, and then post what time you got.

Please post what your cpu speed is, and the super pi time.

Try and not have anything running in the background or it will affect your time. Anything under 30 seconds is good, anything under 20 seconds is really good.

It gives a good comparative speed test between pc's and laptops, ive started with my netbook.

1 - its not a virus.

2 - My atom is slow as you can see from the figures.

Ya bunch of fannies

56 secs on a 3.06Ghz pc ... running through Wine on linux

edited to add - with FM2008 and opera running in the background

the new uni computer took 40.61 seconds

36.254s on a Sony notebook with an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz.

This was with Opera and WMP in the background, as well as some other shit.

22.234 seconds on my Dell XPS420

Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39GHz

Roughly the same with either Internet Explorer or Firefox running in the background.

37.656 with Wine/SUSE
Didn't switch any background programs/processes off

38.594s

Intel Core2 CPU 1.66Ghz. Sony Laptop.

42.297

Intel dual processor thingy, no idea of specs.

Good? bad? average?

Not that I give a fcuk, it runs Football Manager well enough, downloads music quickly, and lets me browse the net, the only three things I ever really use my PC for, apart from lots of emulators for old machines.

Im guessing from that speed its the older intel dual core 820 or 920 or something like that, you see the equivelant score that the dell xps at 2.4 gets (quad scores same as dual in this test).

24.684s

Acer Laptop Intel Core2 2.0 GHz

Did my work pc machine and got 22.062.

Just tried it on my Laptop (XPS 1730) and got 25.542s

Although I have a rake of programmes running

Turned some progs off and got 23.601s
Im sure I could get less if I turned more progs off but thats not a bad score for a laptop.

Ill try my gaming and old desktops later.

33 seconds - Aspire 8920 Intel Centrino

44.46 seconds

Targa 3500 from Lidl.not bad for a cheapo

AMD Processor..cant remember what one though

Will be an AMD 3500

.. *cough* ..





Well, my my... will you look at that. And here was me starting to feel sorry for accusing you of going on an ego trip..

I think we have to see screen-grabs of these results...

27.96 secs Dual core 2 2.2ghz

I actually had no idea what my work machine would do till i came in, it only cost about £300.

If i wanted to willy wave, i would post my home desktop

Does my computer at uni not qualify for the table?

Its a dell optiplex 740 AMD athlon 64 X2 Dual core 4400+, running at 2.3GHz, with 2 megs of ram

Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 @ 2.66GHz

A couple of seriously quick processors on here...

Anyway, just ran mine again. The times seem to vary massively even when no programs are active. Here's the screenie:

Mark just put your 11s result in for your new PC.

Fuck everyone else... your raped them silly..

After all teh abuse I think you should put your real result in.


Sorry guys, he raped you all

21.859 on my macbook pro running windows



edited to say its 2.4Ghz intel core 2 duo with 4GHz of ram

I've seen E8500's get down to 7-8secs, but they were clocked to crazy 5GHz+ speeds. What does it get at stock?

Probably about 16 seconds (my old quad @ 3.2ghz got 16.5sec)

*cough* Update mine *cough*

First attempt on my Q6600 @ 2.4GHz:
