    Yeah I like the new M50VM alot myself, its a great media machine and a good gaming machine. The G50VM should be out soon if your want more gaming power, and also if all goes well the C90P should be here soon.

    The C90S is a good machine but has a few problems, if your serious about it I would find a used one dirt cheap and many people who are not techy didnt want to mess with them and sell them, or wait for the C90P and see if all the minor issues that plagued the C90S have been solved.

    I cant wait for Gophin to update :p I wonder if my 11.2 second run gets me up there in the top spots. Probably not tho as an owner of the 45nm quads can pretty easily beat me and we have quite a few of them.

    Tested again on wPrime v1.55. I didn't know you had to set the number of threads manually, since the newer version which I have been using does that automatically for you. :p

    I have a dell vostro 1000 labtop and i am having problems with the fan turning on.
    the fan only comes on when the labtop is very hot and it is messing up my game.
    when the fan comes on the game play is good after 7 min but the computer takes a while to cool down.
    is there any programs or a hack that will keep them on 100% of the time?

    PS
    I have taking this labtop apart and cleaned the fan and the gril.
    Thinks (DDDD)

    I just re-tested my processor after a clean install of Vista Home Premium 64-Bit and Undervolting (Software Undervolt; RMClock):

    [​IMG]

    Notebook:

    Sager NP9262 (Clevo D901C).

    Processor:

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 2.66 GHz (2,667 MHz), Front Side Bus Speed @ 1,330 MHz, L2 Cache of 12 MB, Undervolted from 1.250V to 1.150V. Stock Speed, no Overclock. Enhanced with Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound.

    Results:

    32M (Speed Test): 15 Seconds.

    1024M (Stability Test): N/A.

    I hope I get into the Hall of Fame! :D

    Edit: Re-Did the wPrime Benchmark with no other processes using CPU Power this time and changed to Classic Windows Theme to run the benchmark (Not visible in the screenshot, I switched back to Aero just afterwards.). Squeezed the processor's max this time.

    The core duo line wasn't bad at all albeit the lack of 64bit support. A core duo can match any dual core athlon (even the new ultra range) at the same clock speed lol and they're bloody 2 year old chips.

    Dunno. Perhaps you had some processes running that were eating away at CPU cycles. You should definitely be below 31secs. Try running it in safe mode.

    I'm not gone... just busy.

    If someone can send me a spreadsheet or list on where i last left off, I would gladly update it.

    Oh... and remember my note:
    I will only add your score to the Hall of Fame if you submitted the results to HWbot.org (under Team NBR)... which will prove that its not a fake score.

    I can't install wprime on Vista. Something like "error code #25). Any ideas? Turn anything on or off?

    Hey guys, By default, any thing I do in Vista asks me if I am sure. Have all of you disabled? Or am I missing why it is good?

    you have to disable UAC in Vista before Wprime will work (that's what I did and that error message went away)

    relevance as a measure of performance in the current era of multi-core processors is diminishing quickly. As the calculation times become faster and faster, Super PI is also becoming a rather poor stability test due to the need for a stability test to run long enough to stress the hardware. This program does not utilize all of the multi-cores/processors when running the test... strange that most people still use this as a benchmark..

    OK I tried the right right click. Diid not have the option of administrator. Maybe because I only have one profile. Anyway?

    What is UAC and how do I turn off?

    I really would like to run this and see how much better my T9400 does vs AMD 1.6Ghz?

    wPrime supports up to 64 threads.... so yea I would say its multi-threaded. ;)
