I think (or hope) that they are joking chuch

I will do a run on my Windows 7 HDD for comparison between my XP run and it.

Would be nice for reference, but I would literally shat myself if 7 is faster:Dizzy:

start "shatting".

lol we will see

Each bench ran 3 times taking the best score for each

Have screens but why would I lie lol


In other news lol, Ive never shaved any time using maxmem in any os. Thought 600mb is standard for 32m? 1st time I gained 5 seconds seconds

Well your XP isnt properly tweaked then

I can do a clock for clock comparison with reverendmaynard's best time on hwbot. He has 8m25.xxx s @ 4505Mhz in Windows 7

I will use XPSP3 or 2k3 maybe both if I have time

In other news ill beat it by at least 3 seconds same clocks/ram etc ;)

And im not just making numbers up. Use performance product (PP) calculation to estimate your pi efficiency (cpu clock * pi time in seconds). You can then extrapolate/interpolate times at different clock speeds. The lower the PP the better your efficiency.

Im at work so I can only use examples from hwbot profiles. For instance in Reverend's run, 505.680 seconds * 4505 cpu = 2278088.4 PP

Versus my run 421.3 seconds * 5009 cpu = 2154768.7 PP

If you want to see my pi time at 4505 simply substitute... x * 4505 = 2154768.7. X=478.306 seconds. So I should theoretically be able to beat that score by a half minute or so. Now if I match my ram clocks to his that gap would of course close a little, but XP is still faster.

win XP 32m copy wazza, 14 processes, tweaked to almost lost functionality.

7 32b, no tweaks.
http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=852711

bit of a frquency deficit as well.

same timings, really no other changes...except that it's on a different mobo, but honestly, the Gigabyte board is out right faster clock for clock regardless.

We can throw down lots, and lots of stuff to back this up so expect a flood from the boys.

We wouldn't run it if it was slower. Maybe all these pro's just haven't figured out how to hack 7 to get an edge over us "n00bs". ;)

beat it by 20+ seconds at the same settings, timings and what not and I'll call hax lol.

Lol well your a right nasty git arent you. Im trying to help you and you give attitude. Im gonna beat it by 20 seconds and you can eat your words... :D

Im not making things up your efficiency in XP is awful, and in 7 its better, but still not good.

Looking at your screenies I see at least 5 errors slowing you down.
