    i posted this in the asus benchmark forum, but my laptop has serious problems i think

    asus z63a
    1.86ghz p-m
    1gb 533 ddr2

    takes me three minutes and ten seconds! just to calc 1M digits :confused:

    can it be because of my 4200rpm HDD

    The thread title should change to "Measure your Intel speed" or "Measure your SuperPI" speed.

    1. SuperPI is cache friendly rather than system bandwidth friendly. With that, you only test how much benfit your cache will buy you, not a faster CPU.
    2. SuperPI algorithm itself is obsolet.

    I will not trust SuperPI scale in real world.

    One question of concern: when I run Super_Pi, it only uses one core. I want to see it run both cores.

    The hard drive has nothing to do with your time. SuperPI is dependent on the processor.
    Your laptop is probably in a low power mode; go into the Control Panel and then Power Options, change it to "Portable/Laptop" and hit Apply. That mode allows the processor to clock up to its full frequency when needed.
    Also make sure that you are not running anything else while SuperPI is running.

    Try this if you havent yet, it'll definitely boost your performance:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=60416

    I would not recommend anyone to rely on SuperPI for accurate scoress (unless if you have a singe core CPU)

    If you have a mult-core CPU, you should use 3DMark06's CPU Tests, since its multi-threaded, it will give a much more reliable score.

    Note: 3DMark05 sucks for todays comparisons because it only single-threaded.

    With a core 2 duo 1.66 Ghz.
    AC I got 1 min 21 sec.
    DC I got 11 min 52 sec (Asus ATK power control).

    What a difference eh? I also found that at AC the CPU is loaded 50%, so probably just one of the cores is working. Then, at DC the load is ~70%, so probably the motherboard distribute the duty among the cores to lower the heating.

    I did my desktop (notebook should be here tomorrow) and my times is... 6 minutes and 3seconds!

    It's an old Intel Centrino with 128 MB of memory and a 60 gig hard drive! Can't wait to see what I can do with my new Dell :D!
