# Slower CPU, and a complete joke of a graphics card compared to the 8800GT, and still beat it ;)

Don't think my result isn't too bad. 8800GT driver has just been released so it's score bring it down. Rest of my scores are better other than the disk. I'll have to check it out.

Definitely interesting to see comparison though!
 
I was only teasing mate.. It was more of a "It looks like OSx86 isn't as fast as the native hardware" post... still good though :)

I know! :D Hopefully it will be supported more in the future. I definitely notice a big difference between this and my old Macbook anyhow!

Ok. *slaps self*. back on topic! :)

Nice score! What motherboard is that using?

Gigabyte P35 DS3R

Seems to be pretty much perfect for OS X. Got sound/graphics and even my Logitech webcam working.

Highest in here so far. Anyone with a proper mac pro? Be interesting to compare.
 
hmmm, i got a measly 64.84

weird cuz it all seems to run good... photoshop/illustrator silky smooth and plays stuff like return to castle wolfenstein with all settings on full etc so dont think somethings wrong...

the place where i'm way off the mark is the openGL test...

i'll have a play later to see if theres some power saving or something holding it back... if anyone has any insight let me know :)

EDIT: maybe its something to do with this...

but i can't really be arsed to install a new app just to change a minor parameter that makes a big difference to XBench... end of the day everything works great so i aint gonna start messing to hunt for a higher xbench score... although its strange that you are all getting what would be expected... i got nearly 3k on geekbench so i reckon i'm fine...

Here's something more mundane.

MacBook Pro 15" original spec (Core Duo 1.83Ghz).
Upgraded with 2Gb Crucial RAM, and 250Gb Samsung HDD.
OS X 10.5.1

 
The Magic Pirate

Spec 20" iMac 2.4 C2D, 4GB Ram
OS 10.5.1
Screenshot Er, pass. I'm only just over a mac month old.

However, I did the test 4 times
1) No Restart, Main HDD 153.16
2) No Restart, WD Passport drive 123.03
3) No Restart, Ext HDD in Caddy 136.51
4) Fresh Restart, Main HDD 125.35 :confused:

How come after a restart I get a lower score?
