    That's extremely fast - not even the T2600 2.16GHz laptops I used beat that. Are you running the regular version or the SSE2/SSE3 ones? We use the regular for comparison.

    Sony Vaio SZ150, specs in sig (T2600 CPU), plugged in:

    2M = 1 min 13 secs.

    Yonah based desktop PC with T2600 CPU at stock settings :

    2M = 1 min 3 secs.

    Maybe with some tweaking can push the time down.

    768 MB RAM
    80 GB 5200? RPM

    plugged in: 2:22
    can't remember unplugged but i think it only dropped a couple seconds
    also, performance might drop drastically for some people while unplugged because your computer has different settings while unplugged. and of course, it's unplugged.

    Dell 700m 1.6ghz, 60gb 5400rpm, 768mb Ram, running on Home/Office Desk settings: 2min 9 seconds.

    Some ppl do not realize that some Dell laptops have user selectable performance settings. For example: My 700m has the following options: Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop, Presentation, Always On, Min Power Management, and Max Battery. I get slightly better Super Pi scores (by one second) with the Home/Office Desk settings than I do with the Portable/Laptop settings.

    When you open SuperPI, hit "Calculate" at the top, select 2M digits, then hit "OK" and it should start.

    I means your Celeron M is faster then your P4 Mobile in SuperPI when they are both on AC. It looks like you've got some power saving feature kicking in on your Acer since your time drops a whole lot on battery.

    Toshiba a105 s1712 Budget laptop
    1.6 celeron m, 1 gig memory, 80gig hd 5400rpm, and ati 200m xpress, which hogs basically 1/4 or my physical memory. Also I had 2 programs and 1 dl running. I need to try without sharing memory through the physical memory and no programs.
    It ran 2:32 for 2m wow, celeron M competing with pentium M, Im getting better numbers with my celeron than some of you that have more than 1.6 on pentium
