    I did this on my desktop. It's a 3 year old Dell Dimension 8100: Pentium 4 (first edition) 1.4GHz, 384MB SDRAM, with iTunes and Firefox running in the background.

    I thought I would get comparable results to some of the Celerons who posted at around 3 minutes.

    But NO!

    9m03 seconds.

    I should run it on my Ebay Satellite laptop I'm replacing, if I got 9 minutes on this, I would guess about 15 or 20 on the old POS I have downstairs...

    2M super pi: 2min 20secs~

    Celeron M, 1.4 ghz
    256 Ram
    Windows XP Home
    On AC
    Compaq Presario V2000, the $350 (!!) Office Depot computer.
    Also running IE, Word and AIM, and 50 processes.

    Not bad at all, the Celeron M is much faster than my older Toshiba P4 2.0ghz laptop (which had 3min 40secs). Desktop P4 in a laptop blows.

    I think that's good but you should be doing the 2M test so your results can be compared to everyone elses AND with the Pentium M there should be a sizable difference between battery and ac results.

    yeah, sorry. i didn't read the first post before trying it. i re-ran the test at 2M and i got 1min 47sec for both AC and DC. i did max out the performance though in DC mode.

    My sibling's time/laptop -

    Dell Inspiron 1100, Celeron 2.0 GHz; 256MB RAM; 20GB (4200 RPM),

    Plugged in: (for 2 million digits) ---> 3min 57sec

    Is it kind of slow?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    My Deskptop:

    P4 3.0 GHz
    1GB of RAM
    120 GB Hard-drive (7200 RPM)
    Radeon 9200

    2 million digits ----> 1min 46sec

    I call BS on this score. Does nyone else find it odd?

    Here is a similar spec P-M for comparison.

    Actually, I don't. The Celeron M 1.4GHz and the Penitum 4 1.4GHz (Bainias) are the same processor, the Celeron only differeing in the fact that it doesn't have the power management features of the Pentium.

    Also, that Dell B120's test was done after a fresh reformat, so without anything running, it is pretty fast.

    Yeah but wouldnt you think the 2MB cach would help?

    New install or not. I'm pretty sure that most people disabled most startup apps to tweak their performance.

    Oh well..
