Test your real-world machine speed...

First, get SpeedX from versiontracker. I have provided a link... The download is small.

http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...d=12561&db=mac

Next, run the app with light processor load or no processor load apps in OS X, and with 10 billion instructions. The Finder can be the only app that's running, if you wish... When I did my tests I was running Fire and the Finder, and of course, SpeedX. My results...

Typical instructions: 331.9 MIPS
Fast Integer instructions: 700.9 MIPS

iMac DV G3 400 MHz

Run all the tests you can and post your results. Make sure to post your machine if it's not in your sig. Have fun, all!

I scored:

Typical Instructions: 527.9
Fast Interger Instructions: 2.0 BIPS

I was running IE and iChat when I ran it though, so I might be able to get a higher score.

Ricky: There is no "MIPS" under Fast Interger Instructions.

On a pitiful little machine like mine there is.

Oh! Sorry.

I didn't even think about what MIPS and BIPS stood for.

No problem. Easy mistake.
