Who has the biggest willie?



Lets see by all downloading super PI and running it on our gaming rigs. Ill edit this post and keep a table of the top scorers. Everyone should be running it on 1 million iterations. I would reccomend temporarily disabling any security/antivirus software you may have running as this will increase your time by 20-50% (lower time is better). As a guide, the new core2 duo processors can calculate in less than 20 seconds! I plan to get an E6600 or maybe a quad core in jan, if theyre out by then! I will likely try overclocking for the 1st time too...



SuperPI can be downloaded here:



http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/



Please take a screenshot once you are done, shrink it to 70% size (makes it smaller but still readable) and a JPG, and upload here...

My file server machine (Athlon XP 2100+) - 01m 13.766s

I will test my gaming machine tomorrow night... I would expect it to be at least 10-20s faster, but we'll see!

Can you guys please post your CPU types? The point is to try to compare what different processors are capable of!

Could you give me the number of your manager at work? I'd like to let him know that you don't have enough to do...



Machine I tested is a 3Ghz Xeon with 2GB Ram.

Now GET BACK TO WORK!

God damn spamming rules lost my post!!

Bascially ran it 2 years and 4 months ago and got a score of 41Secs. (AMD64 3400)
That was back when I just finished building my current gaming machine, so I think the £1500 I spent on it then (the only thing thats been upgraded since then is the fans) was worth it :)

but when I get a chance I will run it on my lappy, (new) MCpc, server box, gaming machine again (with new version of superPi) and if I can find a version for linux my linux box as well.

Updated results:
Gaming machine - AMD64 3400 (XP pro)    : 41.00s (old)
Laptop - Intel Centrino 1.6mhz (XP Tablet) : 46.703s
MCpc - Intel P4 ??mhz (XP Media center)    : ??
Server - AMD 2000XP (XP Pro)                  : 1m21.567s
Linux - AMD 2500XP (Ubuntu edgy)            : ??
