custom computer running osx

[computerpro3]

thats surprising. my buddy got 17000 on his 2600k 32bit in windows on a tigerdirect bare bones 4ghz pre overclocked box. so I would think 5ghz would do dramatically better.

Its OS X. It scores dramatically lower in every benchmark. Look at my previous post about cinebench.

Okay, this is the first time I've played with GeekBench, and I'm finding it wildly inconsistent. I tested this both on my real macbook air, mackintosh, and windows pc. Each time I run I get variations up to 1000 points, with completely random results. One time, the FPU performance varied by 4000 points!!!

Anyone else running into this with GeekBench?

Is there a more reliable bench out there?

When i turn off other apps and set energy savings to best performance there are little difference. Maybe ±200-300 (which would be ~5% on my Air).

NovaBench is a nice benchmark too, which in my opinion is better, because it measures HD/GPU and CPU performance

Actually, OS X scores higher in Geekbench than Windows. One of the only tests that does, but it does.
