Had a bit of fun today, was bored..decided to run Custom Pc's benchmark software through my laptop to see what crap results i could get with it.... given that "high is usually better" i thought well why not have a worse is better section? My wicked laptop specs - K-Advert laptop - (given to me by a IT friend as payment in kind for working at his PC store for a week) CPU : Intel Pentium T2080 @ 1.73GHz - Dual core Yonah 65nm Technology Motherboard: DIXONSXP DIXONSXP (U2E1) - Dont even know what the hell that is :-D Ram: 2.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 266MHz (4-4-4-12) Graphics on board - no card: res 1024x768 H/Drive: 98GB Hitachi IDE Windows XP 32 bit The Results: Image editing: 431 points. Video encoding: 580 points. Multitasking testing: 229 points. Overall score: 413 points. Benchmarks finished. So go on anyone do any worse..would love to see someone with a pentium 1 or a 486 or something..
Can you link to the benchmark software you used, this'll ensure all our results are tested on the same basis. I think I could get worse than you with a computer back from 2006
I tried running cpc benchmark on a single core Athlon 64. Can't remember what the clock speed was. But can remember it was still running 2 days later! Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Its the software provided right here by custom PC themselves they use on all there motherboard reviews they always usually post a link to it, i will try and find a link.
Found the link : http://www.bit-tech.net/blog/2009/10/26/download-the-custompc-media-benchmarks-here/
Thanks for linking These are the results for my main computer: Image editing: 677 points. Video encoding: 851 points. Multitasking testing: 469 points. Overall score: 666 points. INTEL Core 2 duo @ 2.19GHz 2GB RAM Windows XP Home x86 On board graphics (512MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the results for the computer I use to record TV as well as some file sharing (it does the job) Image editing: 298 points. Video encoding: 418 points. Multitasking testing: FAILED. INTEL Pentium 4 480MB RAM Windows XP Home x86 On board graphics (unsure) When it got the multitasking test XP popped up a "virtual memory minimum too low" at which point the benchmarks suite aborted
I'm gonna download this and use it to convince my boss I need a new PC at work. I bet it will crash on the test and not even display a result. I'm stuck with a 5-year old DELL GX280 , Intel Pentium IV 3Ghz with 1GB Ram... It's already breaking a sweat just downloading that file! I'm afraid to run it!
Unfortunately if you get so slow in the CPC benchmark the points stop decreasing. Multitasking tests usually fail on single core machines, and any hardware with ****/no GPU acceleration. The VIA Artigo I reviewed was painfully slow and will probably beat anything here
I win! It doesn't want to run on my work-pc. It says the display needs to be in 32-bit.. but it is.. I changed it to 16-bit and then back to 32-bit, but still no luck.. it doesn't want to run. So frustrating to have to work on such a piece of crap! I've added a graphics card and a screen I had at home to at least use two screens. But it's still painfully slow.. it takes up to 2-3 minutes to open a 1mb PDF file, which I need to use all the time... Such a pleasure coming home to an iMac 26" i7 with 8GB Ram and an extra 20" portrait screen. bleh
I would go and dig out the pentium 90Mhz machine in my parents loft when i'm back there but i doubt it will run on Win95.
I have a Cyrix 133 somewhere I could dig out with 16mb ram. Does anything happen if i press the "Turbo" button... ERM... no.
