My C2D 3.06GHz MBP with 4gb ram gets 4668 with the 64bit test and my i7 iMac with 8gb of ram gets just over 9800 with the 64bit test. My i7 with 4gb of ram was getting ~9600.
Got a tip for us?

that's a standard score for the imac i7s.

Unfortunately Geek bench scores don't really amount to much, real world scores in real world applications do. After reading this I couldn't justify spending $200 more for not much real world performance. I will make do with a geek bench score of 7686.
"our overall leader in both power efficiency and performance per system cost was the Core i5-750. If you're purely rational about these thingsand you can afford to spend nearly $200 on a CPUthe i5-750 is obviously the best choice among the processors we tested."

Although I am tempted to take a i7 from the office and take it home with me. You can never have enough power. Once hyper-threading becomes more useful the i7 will probably ultimately have a bigger advantage dollar for dollar.

that's true...very few applications actually use multiple cores (e.g. 3d rendering)...and geekbench only calculates raw processing power...which doesn't seem to bear any resemblance to what you might actually use it for
long story short...benchmarks in your individual program are the best way to go...
Holy moley this thread got huge! I think this probably sets a personal record for me as the longest running thread I've created.
As for my LCD, after two swaps and a HDD replacement, Apple has my 2nd iMac on the way. I'll post the results in the other big thread regarding that when it arrives next week.

Im getting a 9274 score on my new iMac i7, with 8gb ram. Any reason why its low?
thats not really low, the scores variate depending on a number of factors.. uptime, CPU usage of other programs, RAM usage, and also the type of RAM sticks that you have - some might not perform as well as others.
10.6.3
9956! So close to cracking the 10,000 mark.
Am at 4GB RAM - going to add another 2GB to get to 6GB, hopefully that'll get me there.

wow!!! sick!!
ill be grabbing 8GB soon to make 12GB
FYI I have just upgraded a i7 from 4GB to 16GB RAM DDR3 1333Ghz... Man it run so fast now
will post score tomorrow

awsome! that doesnt say CL of the RAM
i presume CL7? can you clarify?also - where did you purchase it from? im an aussie too

sorry CL??? meaning??
I got the RAM from my local computer store.... hes preety good i know him for years... he gave me good prices for them ram... well actually preety good... a lot better then Apple in George Street Sydney, and also Harris Technology and a few other people... i am currently using PQI RAM... Apple was going to charge me $2240 for 16GB in total, and the guy who was selling me the ram was trying to tell me that this is a Apple own memory as they are the one who makes them. When i ask him the brand of the RAM he told me its Apple... but as we all know apple get their memory from any where, long behold the RAM they where trying to sell me was from Hynix a korea company and the speed is 1066Ghz.... I told the guy the RAM is very expensive as i could get RAM from Kingston, OWC, PQI, and Crucial and they are all 1/2 of the price the guy come back and said well you will have a 3 year warranty with Apple's RAM... i told him i get a 3 year warranty on some of the brand and with Kingston i get a lifetime warranty... So the Apple specialist come back with well you know its the best Memory as its APPLE...
to me RAM is RAM im happy with PQI atm... so its now running on 16GB
