Xbench

Interesting, it's really not much better than my 1.25 Ghz 15 inch PowerBook. My results are some above, some below.

Actually, that's significantly worse than stoid's 1.25, not to mention tons worse than my 1.0 eMac. What's going on here?
 
MacBoy, did you quit all background apps, or just minimize/hide/close their windows? That can make a BIG difference.
 
Something's fishy when my 1ghz Rev.A iBook G4 beat the top scoring 1.5 Powerbook at the Xbench comparison site - In processor scores! The powerbook then went on to beat my computer at various other tasks, but not by as much as it should have. 😕 Let's hope that this isn't another boo boo from Apple. :crosses fingers:
 
Yeah, something is up with those scores. My 1GHz 12" PB gets 99.87. Do you have the processor setting in the Energy Saver preference pane set to "Highest"?
 
Maybe it's a problem with xBench. After all, it has been know to report incorrectly on instances. And the G4 was never expected to pass 1.42 GHz (which was already super-overclocked and really hot).
