That your CPU is better than mine, for example, at encryption and compression.....perhaps a guru in the CPU area could decipher the scores for us.

Your also OC'ed which I'm sure helps. Though there is no doubt it is a bad motor scooter.

mike

will this work on my vista machine?

I got an error

This is from my work desktop, it's running a Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
Stock Speed 2.83GHz
OC'd currently to 3.4GHz

Its not an i7, but its close enough for now... Im waiting for Intels new octal core CPU later this year!

I'm in the same boat. My home Q9550 runs at 3.2Ghz though. A friend just bought a Sandy Bridge i7 2600K and overclocked it to 4.2 this week. While that makes the inner nerd in me want to build a new computer, there is absolutely no reason to as my Q9550 runs fabulously and doesn't really drag in real-life usage...just in benchmarks against these newer chips. My box will be 2 years old in June. I expect that I'll replace it in another 12-18 months.

Mine: i7-860 @ 4.2GHz
