Ah yes, I've heard something about that, I just have a bad memory. Thanks for the replies.Agayek said:You're running a 32-bit OS. That means your OS can't "see" any more than 2^32 bytes of RAM, which is approximately 3.3 GB.
Haha, nope.baggyn said:Pun intended?Calgetorix said:I just have a bad memory.
Oh heck no, I do computing and we have a little history of computers display on a shelf in our computing room. There's a few classics there. No we use something far slower, RM Desktops... Yay.baggyn said:No i havn't, might have to take a gander at some point.mikecoulter said:snip
I could steal an old BBC Micro from my Sixth form and post it to you I suppose... =P
You're right, that is good pretty darn good for the 32bit. Have you seen the Geekbench scores of the upcoming Macbook Pros? They come with mobile Intel i5's + i7's, they crush my new iMac. But then, they're also £300 - £400 more...
Why did you have to post this, i wanted to get an early night but instead i've been trying to see how low i can get my benchmark by writing hideous programmes that create thousands of threads each one doing massive matrix multiplications and really causing my laptop some distress
EDIT: Your sixth form is using BBC Micro's????

They truly are the scum of the earth. There are 5 year old custom builds the techs made in our school that can run much faster.baggyn said:I was going to say.mikecoulter said:snip

Ah i remember using RM's when i was at sixth form, such fantastic machines :/
I'm fairly certain a computer with a score of 150 would have difficulty even loading this site... But you could always try opening more programs then running the test for a lower score.IckleMissMayhem said:1652. Damn, I thought I'd be the one to get the under 150 score... Is it strange that I'm sorta disappointed? Guess my crappy laptop's not as crappy as I thought...
Please do, I do rather like the stats of older machines!Dirkie said:696 on a 7 year old p4/1.8ghz/1gb compaq laptop. not bad at all.
(might try the p3/1.0ghz/256mb one tomorrow)
Tell me about it, i reckon it's some secret law that all sixth formers must suffer with RM'smikecoulter said:snip
