Hey there guys. Have you played with teh benchmark SuperPi? Even though it's almost a million years old, it's still a good measure of FPU power. Just wondering what you guys get that's all. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> You can download it <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://personal.cityu.edu.hk/~50250992/newhkoc/hkocfile/superpi.zip">here</a>. Here's my results. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="http://members.lycos.co.uk/csmo/Forum/superpi.gif"> I would assume that highly clocked Athlon's would kill me, the Athlon has always had a superior FPU!

<img src="http://members.lycos.co.uk/csmo/Forum/dsuperpi.jpg"> Dean, Geocities suck for remote linking... Myself I use Lyco's UK, they're great! A bit slow, but they allow for remote linking. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Colin

Not bad Dean... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Here's my main rig. <img src="http://members.lycos.co.uk/csmo/Forum/MainRig_Pi.gif"> C1 P4's do much better here in Super Pi for some reason, I'm not sure why.

Nice rig NaSTy! How do you like the SiS745 chipset? Man you're in real need of a new videocard... Perhaps we can do something about that. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

<< How do you like the SiS745 chipset? >> Yeah It's not bad at all. I don't know much about chipsets but I think I read somewhere that the SiS chipset never really took off. Whats your personal opinion Colin? << Man you're in real need of a new videocard... Perhaps we can do something about that >> Colin mate, I'm all ears. You sure know how to get someone's attention <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Personally I quite like the SiS chipsets. They've been really on the ball the last year. The SiS745 never really took off because it's basically the old 735 with DDR333 support. Until recently when AMD moved the Athlon FSB to 166 MHz, PC2700 (DDR333) memory was really useless and was more for marketing purposes. That is like the move from KT266A to KT333, performance gain through sheer brute strength was zip. Still I hear it's pretty good. Hey NaSTy, post some Sandra screenies and show us the power of the 745! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> << Colin mate, I'm all ears.

I tried running it on my work computer and the bloody thing rolled over and died
