OT - How long does it take you to calculate Pi?

[Anonymous]

how u use it?

 

[Dan E-S]

Oooo mine was slow,

1m 10sec

on a Intel Celeron (R) 3.06ghz

whats wrong with it!

 

[Ian]

It's a celery processor. What more need I say?

To run the program, run the .exe and then click calculate.

 

[Dan E-S]

mmm true!

Intel celeron D proccessor

duh duh duh dah

pile of w*nk!

 

[Ian]

Yup, no "real" cache. Ok so they've got 256kb nowdays.

Back in the days of Celeron 300/400's, they had 0kb cache and could be overclocked to 550mhz+

They were ****e though.

Also the days where you could get a P1 120Mhz and stick an overdrive CPU ontop of it, making it into a 180Mhz Pentium Pro. WOW

 

[Dan E-S]

i remeber about 7 years ago i had the best CPU out of everybody i knew,

a P2 233mhz!!

and cost a stupid £1100! now sitting in the attic gathering dust.

My mum bought this comp, i gave her a spec to stick too but the people in Pissy World talked her into this one. Oh well

and ian i really have no idea what you are talking about. Lol

[Ian]

CPU's have never actually been higher than £800. - The latest one always costs around that price, even today. The FX-60 is I think £650, which is still damned expensive.

You mean £1100 for the whole PC, that sounds about right

Pissy World, lol - build them yourself

 

[Dan E-S]

its wa far too much for a 16 yeah old to part with though

shockingly, my sisters P4 running at 2.79GHz with a mere 512mb of generic ram scored a fairly good 51.56

theres folk above with much better PC's scoring lower
also running azureus and the BOINC manager for the BBC climate change experiment, not to mention AVG and Firefox running concurrently with that test.

Then 50.046 with only firefox running. yaay!

Spot on 44.0s with an Intel P4 630 3.0 GHz 800MHz FSB 2MB Cache, and 1GB DDR2 RAM.

Tried it in safe mode, thinking minimal programs and services would be running, but it took 57s?

 

[Ian]

Interesting, never thought of trying that.

Please be aware, this program only utilizes single core threads

 

[Cynic-al]

i haven't found a program that does use dual core yet, but i find it helps with multi tasking.

 

[Cynic-al]

apart from some CAD applications at work, one claims to be able to use 128 threads :S

 

[James]

The Pentiums will score higher than the Athlons and Semprons.

The Pentium M should give thew best times. Anyone got one in a desktop care to try?

 

[Bill]

To be a fair test, then each machine would need to be running fresh installs of the same OS etc.
