    What the heck? My t7300 vostro did it in 56 seconds, 10 times out of 10. How can the t7400s and t7500s be getting slower times? I'm running on xp and closed other programs though.

    2M: 1m50s
    T42, Pentium-m 2Ghz Dothan, 2GB ram, 5400 rpm hdd

    :(

    It seems Ghz per Ghz, a core duo is 35% faster than a pentium M dothan for single threaded apps.
    I based this on the fact that a core duo 1.6ghz did it in 1 min 31s, which extrapolating would give that a core duo 2Ghz would do it in 1min 13s.

    A bit dssapointed in the pentium M, I thought the gap was only like 20%.

    Due to my needing this laptop to actually work on the job I was forced to go from Vista to XP Pro.
    Pi to 2M went from 1:03 to 1:02. Go figure.

    Dell 6400
    Vista Ultimate 64 bit/ XP PRO SP2 64 bit
    T7400 2.16 Ghz
    2 x 2GB Geil DDR2 667Mhz Matched Set (yep 4GB's works fine)
    160GB Travelstar 7200RPM(upgrade from 100GB)
    Soundblaster X-fi express Notebook

    In Vista Ult. it uses 968MB of system MEM with the 256MB x1400 ATI for Video!
    Which is great for the games I play on it. everything, but the latest
    like BioShock...I save those for my alienware portable rig...


    Super PI mod 1.5 XS
    2M

    +000hr 00m 53.047 secs AC
    +000hr 01m 00.235 secs DC



    Other notebook

    I have an Alienware Area- 51m 9750m
    Vista Ultimate (upgraded to 64 bit)
    2x 512MB 8700M GT's in SLI.
    2x 2GB DDR2 667
    2x 200GB 7200 rpm (raid 0) 16mb cache
    SB X-Fi express notebook
    Wireless 4965 a/b/g/Draft-N Mini-Card

    I'll test it, when I'm over in PA. I left it there, in a hurry, to make a flight.
    I'm wondering, since it has = 4GB's of RAM but a T7600CPU 2.33ghz @ 2.86Ghz and RAID 0, how much shorter the times will be. we'll see

    I figured the Dell 6400 would take 4GB's of RAM, since Alienware is owned by Dell, and somewhat similar MOBO's & chipsets , used in area-51m, & XPS/Insp.
    models. Using SIsandra I found the 6400, has a second pci-e slot open, and another sata port..it just don't have the room without major case modding(and maybe a different BIOS, by programming one.)


    I'm looking at getting a Quad-Core notebook next year. After they've been out for awhile. :cool:

    How about everyone else?

    My computer feels so 2004. I'm disappointed in it's performance it gives for the crappy battery life I get.

    Microsoft Windows XP SP2
    AMD Turion MT-37 @ 2.0GHz Lancaster 1MB L2 cache
    1m52.9 sec to 2M digits
    1.5GB 166MHz PC2700 (1 x Kingston 1GB + 1 x generic 512MB)

    On battery, it will only run at 1.8GHz under full load under standard AMD CPU driver, but will run at 2.0GHz if I force it using RMClock or remove the AMD driver, so the limitation isn't in hardware.
