I get my 2.8ghz 24" Tomorrow - Any tests/programs you want me to run on it?

[Imidazole]

I get it tomorrow... any programs you want me to test, things you want me to check, etc? I'll be your test lab!

[Outcast-au]

Nice ... memory?

I wished they shipped that fast in Aus.

Handbrake :)

[vendettabass]

an Apple TV encode in Handbrake would be awesome! thanks a lot!

[xUKHCx]

How about the temp of the thing, iStat widget (http://www.islayer.com/index.php?op=item&id=7) will report back temperatures.

[rainydays]

Yeah, temperature and fan readings when put on full load for a while would be very nice.

[fredsherbet]

If you have any games (either mac or windows if you're planning on putting windows on it) then have a play and see how far you can push the settings... just some notes on your gaming experience would be lovely!

Cheers dude,
Fred

[zyuzin4]

h.264 and mpeg4 handbrake fps please =)

[bembol]

Just Handbrake, Pics of your Set Up would be nice.

Congrats!

[Aggamemnon]

Doom 3 and Quake 4 tests please.

[Imidazole]

Soon as I get home I'll get right on that, I'm curious of temperatures as well!

I play WoW so I'll run it for a good bit and see how hot I can get it.

[Imidazole]

Doom 3 and Quake 4 tests please.


Yessir!

Hi..could you immerse it in a bath of cold water whilst burning a CD please. I'm interested in how waterproof they make the casing!

Thanks

[Aggamemnon]

Wtf?

Thanks for testing!


3DMark06 running on Windows XP SP2 (via Bootcamp) would be a great test for a Windows Gaming environment :)

I hope you are not expecting a quad core imac... 2.8 extreme is only a duo with a fancy name. I just received mine and am thinking I should have gone with the monster savings of a 20". Still love the iMac... but a lot of money for .4 ghz and 4"!

[shawmanus]

Congratulations on your purchase. Can u profile the cpu to see what model it is. I am curious to see if its x7900 or an overclocked x7800

[youashwag]

can u take pictures of all the tests u will be running??thanks...

Yeah i think we knew that and where does it indicate that one things it could be quad core.

Surely it is more like 0.4 GHz x 2 =0.8 GHz.

Geekbench. :)

[Broken Friday]

I have a test request. Send the iMac to me... :apple:

I'll second this...The Reviews seem to thrash the graphics card but some early buyers report decent performance...Thnax in advance and Congrats :)

[Jimmdean]

ATI Overdrive.

Make sure to stop if you see smoke...

[MrSalty]

hey folks,

Its all about the Windows XP SP2 games trial. People appear to be testing the 2600 pro (or xt whatevea) under OSX, the ATI drivers under Windows are far more advanced. Please trial some of the latest games about, and let us know FPS. If my IMac 2.8 does not perform its on EBAy ;)

Peace, Joe

[Aggamemnon]

Oh, and see if running smp folding at home gets the temperature up as it should load both cores.
