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.)

1m 27s

2m 13s on my old crappy P4

I'll do it later, and post results...
2 m 32 s on max battery and ..... 2m 19 s on always on [wtfux, small difference], up to 2 M digits...... it runs at 1.8 ghz in max batt and full on always on..
i have a 3.06 ghz laptop with 512 mb ram and a 80 gig 5600 rpm hdd
edit:
while playing guns that may be why... anyone with similar specs?

what amount? 16 kb 32kb 64kb etc etc.... ? what one is everyone using
