34 secs exactly (whoopee :really for me (but i was having a cup of coffee and a slice of toast at the time !). I don't have a graphic prog in windows so i couldn't take a screenie. Is there any way to get this thing working with Linux ?
Edit: \/ \/ Just tried it again but no joy. Either it's hiding the pic in a secret location on my HD or the PrtScn button on my keyboards knackered ?. Actually i would like to try this in Linux purely for a comparison with Win XP, it would be interesting to get some tangible proof that Linux beats the crap out of Hindows at everything it does (except gaming of course)
Tried again after a restart... 5 seconds faster, 55 seconds and a bit. I'll post a pic tomorrow when I feel like it. Now I'm wondering if my old comp would do it faster. This one should be faster, but sometimes I just think it seems to be slower :s
Meh. I haz 4 cores, versus your 2, a B3 with more heat output than a small radiator and the worst water cooling system known to man :P
Admitedly i was running on the worlds most tweaked copy of XP, while your on Vista though :X
Add a divider! Intel's prefer more Memory Speed than low timings, and CAS 3 for DDR2 is INCREDIBLY tight.
Not a fair comparison - there are different versions of SuperPi that will calculate Pi faster, but they aren't used as therefore it's a fair comparison.
I've seen a Linux version of SuperPi with an AMD 3000 @ 2.2 GHz do 1M in 18 seconds, though.
If any of you want to beat my other times...
My AMD 3700 @ 3.07 GHz managed 27 seconds, and at the stock 2.2 GHz it pulled 38 seconds.
Remember, SuperPi only uses ONE core...
EDIT - SuperPi likes two things - Raw CPU speed, and Memory Bandwidth. SuperPi probably doesn't even need 1 GB of RAM, but the WR's are set with 2 GB because atm the "best" memory kits come in 2 GB (2x 1 GB).
It should be a dual core I'm not on it right now, I'll check later. But the comp really seems to be slow. I tried shutting down all kinds of services and things that start up at the start, but booting is still very slow. For gaming and stuff it's faster, but starting up and shutting down feels so slow compared.
