yap just got to that part
and again - :shocked:


Thanks

dammnn thats insane.
also, sorry but i didnt think to keep track of processor types/original speeds for p4s
i dont even have the processor type for the AMDs in my spreadsheet but i put it in the thread...ill have to change i guess.

I just ran a 26.18 with my prescott...... not bad for all air cooled These new 64bit cpu's run very cool, it was at 41c when it finished this run, and that's oc'd to 4.2ghz. I'll do some tweaking, a 25sec run shouldn't be a problem. I'll get the screenshot uploaded and send you a link.

26min10sec, best i can get patched

very nice :beer:


if its patched, why doesnt it say so in the titlebar?

 

[themikel]

i have no clue. any ideas? i just ran an unpatched super pi and scored 28min 7sec. so i'm pretty sure that its patched, i didnt know there was a way to tell just by looking.

 

[THUGSROOK]

what patch are you using?

i know the SSE2 patch and the SSE3 patch show in the title bars.

 

[themikel]

not quite sure, cant remember, but i do have a new time 25min 55sec

i assume 1 gig of memory is best for 32M cuz even with my A64 @ 2.64 ghz i'm getting 38 minutes but with only 2 x 256...

good thing my 1 gig VX is coming soon

niiiiice with that DFI (4v dimm?) that rig will FLY!

My times seem to be pretty slow. I get 37 minutes plus with my athlon64 3200 @ 2.6Ghz with 1 gig of pdp 3200 @ DDR510 running dual channel at 2.5-3-3-10 1T.

That does seem slow for you setup. I have the same chip with an Asus A8N-SLI running 2.6ghz, and my best score posted above is 28:03

Memory timings and Hard drive speed seem to give a performance boost in SuperPI, I have OCZ TCCD running DDR478 @ 2-3-2-7 and 2 x 74gb raptor Raid0. But it shouldn't be enough to account for 9 mins? I think my stock scores were around 34 mins. Do you have alot of programs that load at startup thats consuming your ram? Are you multi tasking while running SuperPI? Also check to make sure your running 1T manually set in bios, if you use Auto the board can shift to 2T and you won't know it.

 

[Duvie]

Are you running the patch version??? That would help some but not as bas as that is....Are you running dual channel?? confirmed?? Got the 2 sticks in the right dimms?? 1t or 2t???

That is pretty bad I am 10 minutes faster...and that isnt right..

 

[CaBoOse999]

Yeah I'm also running windows 2000. I'm using the patched version and I do have alot of programs that load on startup. I try to close as many as I can but I'm sure there is still things running in the background, and my computer was being unused at the time the test ran. My HD was just defragged as well. Yeah that score is pretty ugly I wonder if it reflects real performance.


EDIT: I have it set to 1T in bios and according to CPUZ its doing dual channel. You use the first two slots on a Neo2 platinum for dual channel I believe.

 

[thunderroller]

do they any limits

Don't know why cpuz reports my ram frequency wrong it should say 255 mhz

 

[imported_SilverBullet]

Hope this is everything

Should be good enough for 4th place

ASUS P5GD2 Premium Intel 915P
XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB DDR3
Western Digital 74GB S-ATA, 10K RPM
Western Digital 200GB S-ATA
Western Digital 200GB S-ATA

It never seems to calcultae the speed right when using 1/2 multipliers...

This explains alot of the difference. 2000 is muuuuch slower than XP! And by your comment about defraging the HD, I,m guessing your using an older IDE drive? This would account for a difference also.

 

[CaBoOse999]

I have a 7200 rpm 8mb buffer ide drive. Not the fastest thing ever but I don't think thats what caused it.

 

[Duvie]

The drive has no effect on it, period.....It isn't IO dependent at all....I would suggest maybe the OS has something to do with it but I always though 2000 was winxp without the eye candy...

I can confirm that... I ran it on my regular Windows installation on my Raptor and got about 31 minutes, then ran it on on my Windows 64-bit beta installation that's on my Hitachi 7k250 and got about 31 minutes as well. The only thing I can think of that would have anything to do with the hard drive is possibly drivers. Sometimes a crappy driver can use a lot of CPU time for hard disk reads/writes.
