I get 14-15 secs on my e6600 @3.2 so I'd say it's a little slower than I'd expect but certainly not bad.Lucien wrote:

pretty slow, no?
What exactly does super pi measure. CPU speed alone or CPU & Memory speed?

It's alright, but a little slower than I'd expect. Anyone know if RAM timings affect the scores? If so you could just have worse RAM than everyone else.Lucien wrote:

RAM timings are overrated. They won't affect performance much at all. A higher clock speed is always (Well, in 95% of cases) better than lower timings.ghettoperson wrote:

Also note that if you do anything, and I mean anything, whiles running SuperPI, it's gonna affect the results a lot. Running (Not starting) Firefox steals 1-2 secs off my main rig.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

running safe mode with explorer.exe killed and forced to 1 core with realtime priority is about 2-3s faster than in normal windows. Changing the ram speed/timings doesn't really affect the results at all. Neither does increasing the FSB/decreasing the multiFreezer7Pro wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
