Intel Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz, 2GB RAM
Elapsed time: 5 minutes, 43 seconds

5min 12sec
Intel P4 @ 2.66Ghz, 533Mhz FSB, 2GB, XP, NT.9

These numbers are interesting, seems to be a disparity? The 2.66GHz faster than 3.2GHz on same CPU type?

Guys, here is something you needed to consider: we do internal benchmarking always on the same (!) data set. I did not read whole thread, but so for I have not found where you would agree on a fixed (!) data set. May be you should consider tying some "free" data to your benchmark and make sure you all run the benchmark on the exact same time frame or even better: just iterate through OnBarUpdate only once, but execute the performance part say 100,000 times.

Also:
- you should shut down any other app (including e.g. Outlook) to eliminate any potential performance impact there.
- if I'm not mistaken the perf test for the most part is floating point math stuff. I would not think that this would be the typical perf footprint of a NT strategy...

Just my 2 cents

I agree, The benchmark I did run happened to appear next to the bottom even I have "faster" machine then some other who ran benchmark faster.
So technical specs do not give you entire picture.

Updated! And congrats on the new system! Nice, huh?

Mike

[whitmark]

Thanks. Yes, nice indeed. Wonder if anyone can break the 100 sec benchmark.

Whitmark and Ctrlbrk - What cooling solutions are you using on your Core i7 920s?

[whitmark]

I am using this one:
COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520 RR-920-N520-GP 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler.

Have also heard good things about this one:
COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler

Always good to read reviews on newegg.com

Hi ClayB1,

I am using the CoolerMaster V8. If you opt for this, check compatibility with your case first. I have CM Stacker 830 (huge case), it barely fits.

I purchased everything from newegg. My favorite store for years.

Thanks for the info on coolers - I'll check them both out.

I built my 920 system just after the chips were first released and there weren't a lot of cooling options available yet, so I opted for the stock Intel cooler. Lots more options available now so I think it's about time for a little upgrade

I found a pic of it I sent to a friend when I was building the system. The kleenex box was there for size comparison
