I got a dell p4 540 3.2ghz with 512 ddr2 400mhz ram, maxtor 160gig HD 8mb cache. I finished in 2:04 with multiple programs running in the background. my mobo can handle 533mhz ram and I hope to upgrade to 1gig of it pretty soon. hopefully I can shave off a few seconds.

2 mins 33 secs:

Amd 2800+, a7n8x-x mobo running 1 gig of underclocked pc400 ram (at 333)

[JustChecking]

PS7, P4 3GHz, 1GB DDR, Win2KPro - 2:35

on the background 2x IE, firefox, thunderbird, winamp, DAP, 2x Total Commander, Avast, ZoneAlarm, MS VC++ 6, ConText, and Painter... i guess i should sometimes close some programs i hope the whole pic at least fit to memory that was left

Hmmm. Well I'm rather surprised by my results. Under 5 minutes (slightly missed when it finished)

I've got a laptop running on Athlon XP-M 2000+ - I was expecting a much worse result! Damn this slightly negates my justificated for buying a desktop PC.... Then again 2 minutes would be nice too.

Ah! That's more like it! New PC - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1gb memory - 2 hard drives (old one used as scratch disk) 1min 38sec!!

By the way, why not use timing from the status bar?

Have anyone tried running it in 64 bit windows on the new dual core AMD 64 ? They should supposedly kick so much ass.

I'm a little surprised by this result, but not really as I did a similar test on a dual G4 and dual Athlon before building my dual Athlon.

Considering this pc is several years old now i'm very happy with the results and await a MacIntel with dual processor core (one day in the not too distant future ).

that just took me 45 seconds on a stock 3200 venice with 2gb of corsair xmls underlcoked to 333

and my third test I cleared & purged everything and got even faster...lol

1min 3 seconds. (63seconds)

WOW...what an improvement...

I'm going to try it on my old P3 Dell 600 mhz 768megs of ram later...

I'm sure we'll all be impressed with those numbers...

[yuppicide]

I've yupgraded from my old 768MB PC2100 to 1GIG PC3200.. I shaved 40 seconds off my time. My old time was 1 min 59 seconds. My new time is 1 min 20 seconds.
