i've just come across a page that introduces softwares to calculate PI and i was wondering, why dont we use QuickPI (http://home.istar.ca/~lyster/pi.html) for benchmarking our cpu?? not only we can calculate PI faster, for dual/quad cores, we can utilize more of our cores for better calculation... u can see in the screenshot below, super pi uses at most 26% of my q6600 while quickpi an average 37% of my q6600... well i know super pi is still used by lyn overclockers as their benchmark, i am just suggesting another tool for benchmarks tongue.gif any comments are welcomed smile.gif

i think instead of quickpi, we should try introducing benchmarks like PiFast smile.gif Since it is recognised already and i have not seen it here, to my knowledge.. Hmmm. Is there?

hey guys, try this out http://www.wprime.net/

it calculates 32m digits of pi as benchmark.. but the good thing is, u can set the program to use exactly how many processors u wan tongue.gif... so dual and quad core users can fully utilize their proc tongue.gif
