http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36 here is a link to downlaod good old super pi,
calculate to 1milion places
Takumi
System specs:
P3 600, 100MHz FSB
384MB SDRAM PC133
2GB 5400RPM HDD
Windows XP SP1
Super Pi time: 3minutes 28seconds
lets see how long it takes for time to begin to tumbe

Haven't had a chance to really "benchmark" per say, but let me say this: its fast. I mean reallly fast. Like really, really, really realllyyyyyy fast. I have whiplash its so fast.
Of course, its Windows, so it still freezes and crashes the same.

Wait...that doesn't happen to XP at work very often The last time I saw a BSOD on a Wintel box was when I put a bad Kingston module in, otherwise I've gotten used to a fairly stable OS in XP. Please tell me yer just joshin' around, because I'm really hoping this is going work with similar stability (albeit Beta)
you think I don't know what a yooGoogley is?

run super pi, it should take less than a minute on the new machines, and takes about 1 second to download.

Boot Camp doesn't work on PPC Macs. Of course not. Not to let you boot XP natively. Because there's no PPC version of XP that runs on Apple software. It wouldn't do anything to make XP's code able to run on the PPC without emulation.
But there've been ways to run Windows on PPC macs for ages...using emulators. It's just slow.

This post is also distinctly different from the one you initally mademkrishnan said:

P.S:
Good to see results are starting to filter through found a screen shot of an Athlon 64 3700+ (2.7GHz) do a 31 seconds pass, and a Pentium M 745 pushed to 2.67GHz do a 28 second pass.Backtothemac said:

Yes, I think so. The moderators here are good people. When they edit threads, they have good reason. The basic point of my post is still there...using VPC or somesuch, it is possible to run Windows on a PPC Mac, even full screen. And the Mac can also act as a remote network client on a Windows PC.
Xp On Mac
It is very stable on the mac probably b/c every thing is the top of the line stuff try puttin dell memory in the computer and it locks up just as often!!!
Trust me i tried it when MY MBP came in

Run it with taskmanager open and see if both CPU's are active

Who does Dell use for memory? Is this really that much of an issue? And semi-OT, I wonder if the Apple Intel motherboards are as picky about RAM as the Apple PPC ones seem to be....
You'd think if you match the timings that you'd be okmkrishnan said:
Well now that you can install CPU-Z all you need do is purchace RAM with the same specs as this little wonder of a program tells you.

would appear that super pi is multi threaded, as it would suprise me if a single 1.8GHz core could turn out a time like that.
Great numbers though

Prepare to be surprised. Actually, I'm extremely surprised myself.Takumi said:
My work PC, a Dell D810, 2.26GHz Pentium-M, 2GB RAM, running Fedora Core 3, did 20 iterations in 40 seconds.
But, the run on the iMac VM was in console only. No window manager running. The Dell has lots of other processes running, like KDE, Tomcat, Apache. Still, I don't think that makes up 50%.
I can't be bothered booting into Windows to test it on XP on the Dell.
good point, the fact that nothing else was really installed on your mac would help out the time,.
