I'd like to ask you for a favor. Could you please use this thread to publish the GeekBench score of your Mac? (You can obtain GeekBench from http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/).

I'm particularly interested in the MacBook Pro 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM with 5400rpm disk. I think comparing the results with others is a good way to make sure that the laptop is performing well on arrival (still waiting for mine).

And nevertheless, I'm curious about any other Mac scores of course. :p

Thank you. ;)

The results are in, and my 1.33 GHz iBook with 1.5 GB RAM scores an impressive 746!

I've never used Geekbench before, but it seems to favor processor performance over memory when tabulating the final score. When comparing mid-2005 iBooks, the 1.42 vs. 1.33 GHz difference had a greater effect on the overall score that 1.5 GB RAM vs. 1.0 GB. Not a great benchmark when it comes to real-world performance.

Xeem, we all agree that performance depends on many factors and that benchmark is very limited in catching important ones. However it's a way for me to verify that my laptop is working as fast as others. I consider it a necessary not sufficient test. So for example if I get 2000 while everyone else gets 3000, then there is some problem there.

Woah, that's really low for a 2.4GHz SR MBP w/ the 4GB RAM option. That's even low for 2GB of RAM...really low.

Maybe you should try and run the Apple Hardware Test. As inconsistent as some people claim it to be, with that big a problem it might pick up something. Maybe run a RAM integrity check too. I've got a feeling that hardware is gonna give you nothing but problems if you don't figure out what's causing that performance. Doesn't bode well.

Running Geekbench in 10.5 didn't improve my score, though that could be because its running on a really slow HD over FW400. Geekbench 64-bit should improve it, though you have to pay to get above 32-bit (once they release it.)

Turned off 2 cores just to see how she does in comparison to others. It makes the MBP look nice.
