More results:

BTW, I hope using HyperPi isn't considered cheating 😀

And how can SuperPi be faster in Win 3.1 than in Win 98? Is it because of background tasks etc? If so, then these tests aren't technically fair are they?

Pentium 4 (Cedar Mill) 3.0ghz @ 3.75ghz, 2x 1 Gb ddr2 667mhz, Asus P5PL2 (Intel 945PL) - 36.738s

Test done with HT on, but i guess it does nothing with this test?

I ran it on the 4 old PCs I've been building recently and came up with the following results:
rNB81s.pngPCe03s.pngYadjos.png36RwDs.png
Galactica - 2:21.344s - 1.0GHz Pentium III Coppermine (dual CPU but the program is single-threaded), Supermicro 370DLE, 768MB RAM, Windows 2000 Pro
David - 2:42.641s -1.1GHz Celeron Coppermine, Intel D815EGEW, 512MB RAM, Windows 2000 Pro
Edgar - 4:07.143s - 600MHz Pentium III Coppermine, MSI MS6182, 384MB RAM, Windows 98SE
Armando - 16:33.135s - 475MHz K6-2, not sure on motherboard (prebuild IBM Aptiva), 384MB RAM, Windows 98SE

Doesn't that time seem way too slow for a K6-2? Looks like I'm gonna have to go through the BIOS settings and see if I screwed something up...

PCs, Macs, old and new... too much stuff.

That is kinda slow for a K6-2, my times for a 450 and 500 were: 8m 54.413s and 8m 26.852s respectively, but I think there's an explanation... I ran a test on another machine I've been working on, a K6-2 500 running on an Asus TX4E i430TX board (512k L2 I believe), running on an overclocked bus with a Hacked BIOS @ 6x83MHz.. and there was a dramatic time increase in SuperPi, around the 16min mark like yours. In comparison my 8m tests were done with a 100MHz bus using 1mb of L2. I think it might be heavily affected by the Chipset type/bus speed and the speed/quality/quantity of the onboard L2 cache. Not to mention K6-2's stink at Floating point operations anyway.

BTW: I like the PC names, I have a box named Galactica as well. (and one named Pegasus, a Laptop named Colonial-1, etc)

I've just realised I've done the tests at 512k, and not the "required" 1M. As I'm too lazy to do more tests 😀, can I just double those figures?

I don't think the test quite works that way, I don't think 512k is exactly half the time it takes to do 1M. Though I don't see an issue with logging them as "@512k". Still, only takes a few minutes to pop the machine back up and run Pi again 😀

Ah, thanks for the explanation! Didn't realize that the K6-2's have the cache on the motherboard. I just went and checked and yep, only 512KB cache. It's also 95MHz bus with a x5 multiplier. Mystery solved!

Oh and as for naming, it's kind of funny, you can tell how old my PCs are by the names. Anything with a proper or biblical name (my dad used biblical names a lot) is probably an old family PC that my dad named, and anything that's a spaceship was named by me. I knew the entire year I was planning out and saving up for my first rig that I wanted to name it after the ship in Stargate SG-1, Prometheus. Armando is actually the exception; I bought him at a thrift store, and since he was my first ever AMD system, I thought it'd be funny to name him ArManDo. Nice to meet a fellow BSG fan! For some reason I haven't gotten around to watching the 4th season yet, I need to make this a priority...

Thought I was gonna be up all night doing this, but surprisingly 12m 29.815s from a Dell Optiplex GXPro- Pentium Pro 200mhz/ Intel 82440FX "Natoma"/ 128mb EDO ECC/ Win 98SE. Hmm, that's right between a K6-233 and 233MMX.

Here's the photos (I don't have a DOS/Win3.x screenshot utility) of my 386sx and 486DLC rigs on SuperPi 1.1e (no decimals)

i386sx-16+i387 FPU / 4mb 30pin RAM / DOS 6.22Win3.11+Win32s:
4h 8min 49s

*note: Syschk, Speedsys and PC-Config all identify as being 20MHz, but the chips are stamped as 16's. Could be possible it's overclocked but I've never touched it, and the CPU is surface mounted. The systems never run unstable and is still rock solid after 20 years, even the NiCd CMOS battery holds a charge.

Well, it is faster than my 386-16, so I guess it runs at 20 MHz.
On the other hand my system is not a 386DX-16 with a 387DX but just a 386-16 / 387-16. I'am not sure how a 387-16 compares to a 387SX-16. The SX might have already the faster core like the 387DX.

Yeah, sorry about that, I didn't notice that it was a PS/2 Model 80, I just looked at it quick and thought "PS/2 386-16? must be a 55SX" like the one I have in the corner.

The 386SX should be slower, the difference was that the SX had a 16bit bus similar to what the 286 had, whereas 386/386DX had it's own 32bit bus. It's interesting to see that the differences aren't that drastic.

As for mine running at 20, I believe it is, while looking it over when I was testing some SIMMs I just got, I found it has a 40MHz Clock crystal installed. Might have been an upgrade by the previous owner, it was 4yrs old when I got it 😜

The Pentium III 450 does 1M digits in about the same time my Pentium II @166mhz does 512K. Does this mean it's twice as fast?

I think that it would be even more than twice as fast. The 512k tests calculates Pi to over 512,000 decimal points, whereas 1M means over a Million, each decimal point getting exponentially harder to calculate.

Best way to test it would be to run the 512k test on the PII-450

Also, does anyone know of a simple, easy to install/use SuperPi for OS8-9 or OSX? I've got a couple of PowerPC based machines I could test and add to the mix...
