Bench your work PC

[weescott]

Overclocking isn't really an option...well maybe a little but you might take out your network in the process ...post PI results and anything else you can get away with while the boss isn't looking.

2 x Irwindale Xeon 3.4Ghz 2mb Cache each.
2gig ram
Quadro FX 3950
3 x SCSI 15k drives (1 for boot drive)

1mb Pi - 40 seconds
3D mark 06 c2900

Next up is a 2.8HT NW with 5900XT.

Have fun.

I ran aquamark 3 and super pi on the college computers... a lowly 9,300 and 58s

Computer used to monitor fuel tank levels in petrol station...... Been on 24/7 for the last 16 years.
AMD 486 DX 40MHz
16MB ram (that was a lot back then!)
1GB hard drive
2MB S3 video card

Super PI 1MB, will let you know tomorrow when its finished!!
3DMark, you gotta be kidding right?!

awesome lol

bet there is a fair old bit of dust inside that case

Rofl - imagine if the tests crashed it and owned that awesome uptime!

So you're benchmarking a system that monitors the safety of a highly flammable substance?

I really wouldn't have done that.

Got quite a few machines, our video encoding machines have 2 x 3.6ghz Xeons, 2GB Ram, some form of video/audio card that takes composite, component and sdi (lossless digital interface), each machine also has 5.5TB of storage on SCSI drives, plus a 74GB SCSI to run the software on.

Can convert a 2GB MPEG2 50MB/s file to MPEG2 8MB/s DVD Quality and also small windows media file in about 3 minutes.

OMG that's awesome!
You being serious? Let us know how it gets on!

My work PC did OK, worst result ever was 36min SuperPi.

Work PC:

Dell XPS M2010:
2.0ghz centrino duo
2gb 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
120GB Serial ATA Raid 1 Mirror (2x120GB 5,400rpm drives with DataBurst™ cache)
256MB ATI® Mobility® Radeon® X1800 graphics card
20.1" Wide Screen SXGA+ (1680x1050) Display with TrueLife™ and integrated Webcam

Super PI was 31 seconds

3d Mark 03: seems to crash out when i run it after the first test, but gets 50-190 odd fps.
3d Mark 05: 2091 - pretty crap score.

Runs hl2 episode 1 nicely, and the lost coast demo with everything on full but 4x aa, stress test result at 1680x1050 was 83fps.

But since it is really just for work, that's fine

Dell GX270

1mill superpi; 3min 2 seconds

Edit; Ive just run it off the C:\ drive rather than my network space and it got;

56 seconds. Much better.

My work PC is fairly bad. It's a Dell Latitude D800 laptop and consists of:

Pentium M Dothan 1.8GHz
1GB of DDR266
GeForce 4 4200 Go 64MB
60GB HD
15.4 inch screen with 1680x1050 resolution

Super PI 1M calculation takes 48 seconds. I know this thing should have DDR333 for optimal performance but I thought it'd be a little quicker than that

Ah well, considering the most it's really got to do is run a few browsers, HyperTerminal, Outlook, VNC and little else, it's not that big a deal.

Will do a 3DMark when I can be bothered but that little GF4 won't make for a speedy system - least it's not an MX though.
