measure your notebook speed (might work on normal pcs) by krissy on 11-25-2006 at 05:16 PM

This could be fun and informative, just download this free program to calculate pi (windows based only).

ftp://pi.super-computing.org/windows/super_pi.zip

Then run the program to measure the time it takes to calculate pi to 2 million digits. Do it both while plugged in and under battery power and post your results along with the notebook model,CPU type & speed, amount of memory and hard drive size & RPM. If we can get 20-30 results(hopefully more) to be statistically significant I'll compile and post the results here in a week or so.

I'm not on a laptop but on a normal PC (specifications in signature). It took me 1m 13s (Not sure if my processor was on full-load mode because the Core 2 Duo lowers it's clock speed when it doesn't have a lot of load on it.)

Same here.

Desktop Computer:
Intel Core 2 6400 @ 2.13 Ghz
1024MB (1GB) of RAM

Also, how would the results differ by having the battery in or not

RE: measure your notebook speed (might work on normal pcs) by Voldemort on 11-25-2006 at 07:24 PM

because the processor is clocked at a lower speed to save battery
but you should set the mode too

because whe nusing th battery the laptop dose not use all thue power it needs (power saving) so it slower but with the mains it is unlimeted basicly.

If i get some more i will make a average.
