Yeah, I only up mine for benchmarks, it's currently running at 4ghz which keeps it nice and cool and the voltage down.

We should refrain from all these arcane benchmarks when we start to think our great PC's are POS
Our PC's are better than 90% of the PC's out there. I don't need to solve PI. I don't need a 7.9 on WEI. My PC is great, so there

I agree.
My previous HP PC with a P4 and 1Gig RAM would have probably went to sleep or died of exhaustion before it finished running the benchmark.

Post your Super PI 1M Times
I did a Super PI test with Win 7 Permon running and noticed that it's a single threaded process in 32 bit environment...not a very good tool to be used on multiCPU x64 architecture which is what the new generation of PC's are.
For a CPU benchmark app, it doesn't test the overheads in multiCPU arctitectures, nor does it test the raw capacity because the test runs in a 32 bit subsystem on a 64 bit CPU which will have its own overheads (And the overheads wouldn't have a linear relationship with the number of similar processes runnig.
Also I noticed that the tests writes 3MB/sec of data during the execution.
So I'll be lookng for a similar CPU intensive 64 bit application running variable threads (depending on the number of CPU's). If some oneknows a good free benchmark utility...I'd love to get my hands on it. Thanks.
Now for the results I obtained:
Super PI version : mod1.5 XS
Data rate written during tests: 3MB/sec .
1M test result : 10.793S
32M test result : 10m 04.208s
PC details : CPU : I7 2600 3.4GHz
M'board : Gigabyte G1 Sniper2 rev 1.0
System disk (affects performance results due to data writes):OCZ revodrive3 X2 .
