mbp17 Geekbench score 11009

[simstoy]

It score 11009 with one year old x-25m ssd. I think it would be better with 8gb ram and a new ssd. And, I bought it on 25FEB from hull krcs in UK. I found there's a postage label of 16FEB2011 on the cardboard box. Krcs was holding the new machine from 16FEB.

I get 11267 on my 15" 2.3GHz from Geekbench 64 bit with the stock 5400rpm drive.

I believe it's only a CPU & Ram test, so SSD won't make much difference. Correct me if I"m wrong though

Thanks, but just trying to show that I don't think the SSD matters much for this test.

As long as your laptop does what it needs to do, who cares? These scores can be beat with a $600 desktop.

$600 desktop? Sure, if you don't mind about the bulk size, heat, noise, quality material, portability, lack of built in 17" glass LCD, backlit keyboard, aluminum casing, thunderbolt port, and the list goes on...

I was just trying to ease the guys pain. Back it up a bit.

sorry for stupid question: how do you boot into 64-bit mode?

I thought they were now booting into 64 bit mode by default? (maybe that's just Mac Pros?)

hold down 6 and 4 on your keyboard together BEFORE the GRAY screen shows up when you turn on your computer/restart your computer.

The MBP i7 boots into 64 bit kernel mode by default. No need to hold the 6 and 4 keys.
