    Both AC and Battery (Max performance on both): 52 seconds

    Thought it might be interesting to add task mgr screenshot showing 50% cpu usage while Super PI calculating.

    HP NC8000 Pentium M Banias 1.7Ghz 1GB ram, 5400 rpm HDD:
    2M in 2min 13sec

    Thinkpad R50P Pentium M Banias 1.7Ghz 2GB ram, 7200rpm HDD:
    2M in 2min 18sec

    I am a bit surprised, I would have expected the banias to perform worse.
    The dothan 2Ghz computed in 1min50sec, so I would have expected a 1.7Ghz dothan to compute in 2min9sec. And dothans are supposed to be better than banias, but here we are seeing maybe 7% performance improvement at best.

    does anyone know when multipi will come out. Superpi's importance is diminishing quickly as it is a single threaded application and so does not take advantage of the dual-core processors sold in today's systems. It is for this reason that multicore processors do not completely outclass similarly clocked single core processors ( which they should). Super pi is only useful in determining how well your computer will run single threaded applications, however there is an increasing amount of software that is multi threaded. If you have a multicore processor you should receive better performance using multithreaded applications.
    hope this helped :)

    Wow this thread is great, very nice utility for measuring CPU speed... I can't imagine even a computer takes a few minutes to calculate pi. I wonder why normal people even bother to do that.. lol

    Wprime is the new standard now though as superpi only uses one core properly.
