    My Super Pi test would have been even twice as fast if the program was programmed to use 2 processors. While I ran those tests only 1 processor was going full throttle - so the test ran at mostly 50% CPU usage.

    I know there are faster laptops than mine, but I think I have the fastest time so far ? 2M 1:15

    I have the T2500 2Ghz Duo 667 FSB.

    If I didn't get this deal from Dell I was last looking at an Acer Ferrari or a custom built Asus Barebone from my brother (he sells computer stuff too so I could have gotten these at cost).

    Those Sagers look good too. What's their best screen resolution?

    test is flawed, its like testing a car's hp as its rolling off the assembly line (a mistake that mazda paid dearly for with the rx8) this only measures the peak speed from a chilled processor thats been fliping through web pages, try geting anywhere close to same result after running hl2 on top res (where the test actually matters)

    Toshiba Satellite A105-S1013 (Celeron 380). Super pi to 2million - 2:18(stock). Nice for a sub $500 machine. Was really expecting much worse.

    You actually got one of those... I'm so jealous. Got way too many bills for such a lavish luxury. I'm still stuck with a 3400+ and refuse to upgrade until next year.

    Its the 3dMarks that rule in that machine. A Core Duo would have faster Pi of course, but man when it comes to the GPU with that CPU, major ownage....

    1:22 on AC power
    3:12 on battery power

    System: Acer Aspire 5670 1.66gHz 1gb ram 100gb hdd x1400 graphics card

    The time on battery power can easily be changed. When on battery power, I have the cpu speed all the way down in ePower Management. I could easily turn it up to get the same time as on AC power (I hope). I think I could even improve on the AC power time by freshly installing XP and running the bare minimum of programs, but I'm pretty happy with 1:22! :)
