ArkaPro Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well I ran Xbench to check my Hash's perfomance... Here are the results Xbench: 169.51 (Im the red bar) Geekbench: 4854 I'm a little bit concerned about the score I got for the Hard drive (81.56). Can you please tell me if its good or not? The system runs on 500GB W.D Caviar [WD5000AAKS] Hard drive. what about my overall score? is it good for the hardware I have?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 My xBench total score is 192.32. This score is affected quite a bit by your drives. I have several Samsung 500gb Hotpoint drives and although they are solid performers for editing and data storage, I discovered they really stink as Systems disks. My overall disk score with the samsung disk is about the same or less than yours. If I restore the exact same image to a Maxtor DiamondMax 500gb disk, that score shoots up to 122+. I haven't tried it on my WD Raptor 10000K drives because they are 74gb drives and my OS partitions are 130gb so the image won't fit. They're a bit noisy anyway, so I probably wouldn't use them as a regular system drive, but I'd be interested to see what the xbench score would be.

ArkaPro Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks BJ, so you say that the WD scored OK? If the score is OK, I'll give back the two noisy seagates and replace them with two more WDs - they're really quite.. 1. any one else had any experience with these 2 kind HDDs? 2. BJ, may I ask what do you use the raptors for? 3. What about my total score? is it good (considering the specs)? I guess that you got that 192.32 because the CPU right? If you have a link to your Xbench results I'd like to see it... to see if my graphic scores are good: Quartz Graphics Test 177.88 Line 145.96 9.72 Klines/sec [50% alpha] Rectangle 185.56 55.40 Krects/sec [50% alpha] Circle 177.33 14.46 Kcircles/sec [50% alpha] Bezier 161.34 4.07 Kbeziers/sec [50% alpha] Text 248.03 15.52 Kchars/sec OpenGL Graphics Test 187.81 Spinning Squares 187.81 238.25 frames/sec User Interface Test 461.71—> Elements 461.71—> 2.12 Krefresh/sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Don't worry if Xbench gives you bad Hard drive results. It's a normal thing. You have a very nice setup Check out geekbench for OS X. You'll be impressed by your pc, i promise you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimusp Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yeah. Geekbench is a much better way of truly benchmarking your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yeah but Geekbench also has the downside of having to pay for Rosetta and 64-bit... what use is a benchmark that runs at 32-bit on a 64-bit kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkaPro Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 OK thanks guys, I'll try to GeekBench my system, I'll post here the results. Chears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkaPro Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well I did the tests... You can see it shows up in my sig (I also edited the first message on the thread.

krowten Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 For me Xbench : 168 GeekBench : 6059 My Q6600 Overclocked to 3.0 GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Your geekbench score is in the top echelon of mac performance. And you're not even overclocking. http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/2007/08/mac...ce-august-2007/ It is nearly as a Mac Pro 2.66ghz, faster than everything else. Your system is fast, don't worry.

ArkaPro Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Oh man, thats great news!!! You really maid my day! And when Intel releases the new Penryn (45nm) chips I'm going to be upgrading (since I have the P35 chipset).. This system will give a good to Apple's new Macs... Good, now that my system seem to perform good, it's time to start messing with the Final cut studio 2... and see if it perfoms good with my hardware! Long live the HACKINTOSH OSX86 PROJECT!
