    wooow. That is seriously fast. But the 32MB test wasn't that much faster than a standard Q6600 in a clevo D900C (15.749s vs 13.593).

    Core Solo U1500 @ 1.33GHz under Vista:

    32M = 125.082s
    1024M = 3982.631s

    Not very fast, but doesn't use a lot of power.

    That's like 15% faster, not too shabby.

    Don't forget about the operating system differences too - Vista x64 is better for this benchmark than XP x64 apparently.

    Quick note - these are not my everyday settings, I wanted to see what the desktop could do. :) I put back the stock clock of 2.4GHz and I can't tell the difference in general productivity between the stock clock and the 3.401GHz clock.

    I don't use Windows; so this is with all the stock installed utilities running. A real OOTB benchmark. No falsely inflated result by killing processes and startup services and/or modifying process priorities. (Norton Protection Center, Asus Splendid, Mailchk, Realtek HD Audio Manager, inCD, Asus Direct Console, Bluetooth Manager, Asus Live Update, etc. By default this thing has ~1G of craptastic stuff loaded, and most are stealing some of your clock ticks. But that's the real world.)

    Killer Notebooks Odachi - Clevo D900C Intel Core2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 Ghz, 4GB DDR2-800, XP SP2

    Best 32M 16.171
    Best 1024M 498.688

    I'm very upset that the Clevo D900C is gelded by the BIOS. I could go so much faster with the cooling mods this notebook has.

    That's not quite true Chaz, I was seeing the same #'s when I ran the test on my system in X32 and Vista64. I personally don't think the OS matters. What matters is you don't have junk running in the background. XP32 is MUCH more sensitive to that than Vista64 is, go figure.

    well, when XP gets Service Pack 3, it will perform as well (or slightly better than) Vista SP1.

    It should get interesting in the coming weeks. :)

    How so? I was under the impression the only changes were some Media Player and Windows Live ones, and of course the added serial numbers support.

    What I think he's talking about is the 'official' support for Dual Cores and Quads. You can patch XP now yourself to enable Dual Core's and Quads but I don't think its enabled by default....I may be wrong on this one. :D (As I have been multiple times when I think I'm sure, lol)

    Ahh, that might be it. Though I think most people already have the multicore hotfix if they have a newer laptop, as OEM's started including it.

    My AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 (1.8ghz) does the 32M benchmark in 43.35 seconds (set to 2 threads). Which gives it the best score of a 1.8ghz notebook in your Hall of Fame, and slightly faster score than Ejl's 2.0ghz Turion X2 TL-60 running XP Pro (perhaps he/she had more running in the background or wPrime is faster in Vista).

    Overall the Turion X2s score very well. I guess that the larger L2 cache in Intel's CPUs isn't as much of an advantage with wPrime.

    I'm running Vista 32 bit. Gadgets and my Anti-Virus software were switched off (Windows Firewall + Defender were still on though); which puts my processes down to 63 without wPrime loaded. CPU-Z confirms my CPU is the 65nm revision of the TL-56. The rest of my laptop specs are in my signature.

    There... thx to some mods/admins/members here for showing me how to clean up HTML coding.

    This thread is now updated. (for the new year) ;)

    Please tell me if there are any mistakes.

    Lastly, I will still give you rep... if you can point out your valid post and if you submitted it to hwbot.

    Thanks. :)

    Is there any way to have wprime recheck the cpu speed?

    Thanks for updating the scores. Though you put my score as 43.550, but it's actually 43.350 (at the top of page 48). So instead of 53rd place, I should be 51st.
