does anyone has laptop with pentium m 2,13? I really like to see how it will perform with this test.

strange this topic goes up again the day i bought a new cooler...
with intel original ventirad on my p4 ht : 25min of rendering... bought a Zalman 120mm... oh god 9 minutes ! And so quiet omg omg i'm so happy, i can work in peace now thanks for the help by here, very useful thread

Sounds like your machine had been throttleing back because of overheating. Unless you're talking the Zalman video cooler, which even if the vid card runs faster and more stable, should not be impacting processor rendertime at all

Yup was talking about cpu fan, great investment for me .It was indeed throttling a LOT.

Hi Chris, great to hear that

[dennis]

i dont understand that. I was under the assumption that the more 'cool' a system was the faster it was.

but talking to an ingeneer about it he said that the clock rate on a system is always steady, cant go faster or slower than the actual Hz value ( not talking about overclocking ).

Higher Hz mean more heat and if the cooling system isnt able to cool enough you will wear out the processor in no time. It wont be slower, the lifetime will just be shorter.

Maybe he just didnt know what he was talking about ?

Intel is using the Thermal Throttling System on their P4 chips, this prevents from any damage while the cpu is overheating. The cpu reduces the clock cycles until the temp drops under the critical point. Thats pretty nice - the problem is you just dont know when it happens

just got some weird times,both lappies:-

p4 3.2ht with 1g ram= 17.30mins
centrino 1.6 with 512 ram= 14.30 mins!!!

ok that dont seem to be right, any ideas anyone

jow

update:- p4 3.2= 10.44mins
thats better! seems the speedstep software was stuck on low power mode so cpu was throttled down to 1.8mhz!!!
updated bios and problem solved.

dual 265's

Opteron 265 - 2gig ram xp pro - (overclocked to 2179mhz)

3m 8.9secs

Here's my RenderBoxx Dual Opteron 270
3m 17.5s

my results

Just ran this on my new hp9300
got 3m 16.5s

Hi.... all

5min 42 sec on a core duo (centrino duo T2600) 2048mb....

Not bad for a laptop.



Bye

I'm sorry but I just landed on this planet. What is 'DR'?

DR is distributed rendering
