pc Speed Test

[audioguru2]

Hi Guys,
I found a small program that calculates pi to umpteen decimal places of accuracy.
My Pentium4-2.97GHz pc does its 2M selection (click on upper left corner to select) in 1 minute, 43 seconds. With Norton, my anti-spyware and everything else disabled, it took a few seconds longer. My pc's fan speeds-up when the program runs.
The challenge is on!

Hi Audioguru,

I ran it through my laptop (2GHz) but I did not try the 16 and 32M, here are the results:

BTW I didn’t shut down anything!

Hi Ante,
Your laptop is fast. Faster than my pc. ;D

Hi Audioguru,

Are you sure yours is almost 3GHz? How much RAM do you have? Calculations like this hug a lot of RAM.

 

[audioguru2]

Yeah, my pc is 2.93GHz. Gateway says it doesn't have hyperthreading, but Intel says it does. It came with 512M of RAM. Its hard drive is 160GB and 7200RPM. It burns DVD's very well but I haven't tried dual-layer ones.

here's how it went on my p233mmx/64mb ram desktop on win2kpro. where did you find it? i like tinyapps like these.View attachment 38234

It's too bad my 486 100Mhz pc is broken. It would probably fly through the test.

When I see my son again, I'll ask where he got the program.

I had a peek at the huge file with the answer with 2 million digits following 3.14159......

It took 2:22 on my 3GHz HP nx9110 laptop. 1GB RAM.

Hi Guys,

Mine has 1Gb RAM it’s a Dell Inspiron 9300 running an Intel centrino @ 2GHz it has a separate graphic card with 256Mb. Some laptops borrow memory for graphics from RAM, this slows things down considerably.
My DVD burner is also a dual layer but the disks are 9€ each , for the same amount I get at least 15 single layer disks. So that’s my excuse for not having tried it yet. ;D
