XBench Results

Here's my results

this is a dual 867 with sadly only 384 Mgs of ram, I guess one of my 128 sticks has gone bad. Also I have a radeon 8500 in it.

results..

Ok.. heres my results. I was just wondering why my hard drive read/write results (the last few tests) are worse than every hard drive result posted here? I know I am not running the fastest computer. But I do have the test running on a brand new 80GB Western Digital 7200RPM ATA drive. And i'm getting slower drive read/write speeds than a pismo (results for a pismo were posted here somewhere). Anyone have a clue whats goin on here? And of course I ran the test with nothign else using the disk at at the time.

The difference is that the Unix structure isn't suppose to care about the fragmentation as it was explained to me. Unix was designed to be allowed to run for years without showing a slow down because of fragmentation. Again I say though that this is what was explained to me. If someone comes up with a good defrager let me know though because I would like to use it.

I have SystemWorks 2.0 but I hate the way it installs on the system and basically takes over and I don't exactly trust the defrager because it's not OSX native and I think it would do more harm then good to use it.

try diskwarrior, it worked great when they repaired my comp. also i've used the norton utilities defragger w/ no probs on an OSX disk. I think that 'fragmentation doesn't matter' info was something somebody made up. I see noticeable speedups after I defrag my nearly-full 18 gig cheetah (nearly full as in about 3 gigs free and in excess of 120,000 files)

Here's the link to the thread were they were trying to tell everyone that you didn't really need to defrag with OSX. On one hand I think it probably will help but I don't think it will help me or most of us all that much if we don't have our hard drives much over half full. I have an 80GB and I only have about 33GB on it. What I meant earlier about Norton is the problem as I see is that it wasn't originally created for OSX and does not run native in OSX so I doubt hightly that it knows the system structure that OSX should use. So when you optimize with it it starts moving system files and other data in places all over the drive where they shouldn't be. Yes all data is now optimized and in one neat path on the drive but the system still has to look all over the place to find those neatly ordered files. That's why at the moment I think the new Drive10 is the only program you can use. It was created from the ground up to optimize OSX drives. DiskWarrior hasn't been created for that yet. Though I hear they will be releasing a OSX only DiskWarrior here very soon.

Seems to me that the G4MX is faster at these tests.

As a tip. Always repair permissions first and do a fresh restart immediatly before running the test. Also how full your hard drive is can have an affect on the drive performance.

There have been some very obvious changes with XBench 1.0B3. If you look at my tests this one the latest with OSX 10.2.2 and the old one the 2nd post using OSX 10.2.1 and XBench 1.0B2. You will see that my new score is higher while most of the actual tests scored lower. This is most likely due to weighting of different groups of tests. Due to a correction in the XBench program itself my machine now scores much higher(correctly) at the thread test. It was falsely low before. Also if you look at some other tests take Altivec Basic for example my machine now scores much higher due to repairs in the program but the actual score is lower.

There are some basic reasons for the differences.

A) XBench has had some serious underlying changes made from version 1.0B2 to 1.0B3.
B) I'm now running OS 10.2.2 which had some major changes.
C) My machine has had some use on it and the drive an 80GB has 33.14GB on it. This would slow down my drive report on top of the revisions done in drive testing with XBench 1.0B3.

Actually, only part of the time. HFS and HFS+ both use binary trees to store directory information. This allows consistent searching speeds and provides apparent faster speeds when accessing badly fragmented volumes in comparison to those (F.A.T.) which use less-sophisticated search methods. F.A.T. is faster on clean volumes but quickly slow because they're using modified linear search methods. HPFS/NTFS is much better but still handicapped a bit dealing with fragmentation.

okay, your results are the highest for the 800 MHz ibooks. this is due to your disk score -- the others are in the mid-40s.

what kind of HD do you have? or have you done something wacky like defrag it before you ran the test?

also, what kind of memory? your memory score is towards the higher end -- i can't tell if it's due to the type or simply the amount. i've noticed that memory size roughly corresponds to a higher score.

thanks!
 
No everything is standard, haven't done anything to the HD. I got an extra 256 megs from crucial, and thats it.
 
Ok, I hadn't realized that my machine was that slow - I'm really hoping Apple comes out with something sooner than later in the next gen processor.

Whoaa!!! Major difference between my DDR Dual/1 GHz and yours.

It must be the difference in the amount of ram. You have 256 and I have 1gig.

Did you test this on a fresh restart? Where you running any other programs at the same time?

Review my test on this page just above.
