Just got myself a new laptop and these are the results. The onboard sound on this thing is utter shite and the latency is unbearable even with ASIO4All. I've got a Presonus Firebox but I can't get it to work with either the onboard firewire port or a PCMCIA adapter. I'll post results for it at some point when (if) I get it to work.

1) 24-26%
2) rockdirect.com Quaddra T64 laptop
3) Windows XP SP2
4) AMD Turion 64 MT-40 2.2GHz
5) 2GB DDR 400MHz
6) Onboard Realtek ALC882 using ASIO4All driver
7) 7200rpm 80GB Hitachi TravelStar 7K100

4) Intel Dual Core 2.8GHz
5) 2,5GB DDR 533MHz

it might be that your bios settings are on default. try to set them to turbo or something like that.

in my case the centrino duo T2500 results in 20%.

Anyone want to hazzard a guess at how the mac book pro will score ? I was thinking I would hold out till mid year before getting one but think I am on the verge of caving in.

Help

I bought second hand T42 IBM. I think Something is wrong:

1)CPU 74% (peak),
2) laptop
3) IBM t42
4) Centrino 1,6 GHz
5) 1 Gig ram
6)MME/Direct X, internal card
7)HD speed:5400

Is it the driver?

Ok! I found a post on this forum (cpu saver), where somebody suggest the use of SpeedswitchXP, to force the best settings for maximum performance and cpu speed.

//www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/

With the same driver, cpu is now 34%, what I expected.
I just hope this is not dangerous for the laptop. Since that change, fan is always running. I suppose everything is working harder.
