I'm only seeing the T2500 chips on Dell's site (dual 2.0 Ghz)
yes. but i have a direct connection to dell.
guys, sorry--- i made a mistake!
it was 20% instead...i typed wrong i just had to realize!
sorry again!!!
spacy
That is incredible... Not shure if I belive its right... More then twice as effective as the 2ghz Pentium M centrino??? Can someone confirm this is right?

OS - Windows XP SP2
RAM - 2048MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Soundcard - FireFace 800 (2ms latency, 96kHz/24bit)
Hard disk drive speed - 7200 RPM (SATA)
still 20% is among the best scores here, especially if that's the PEAK...does it drop below 20%??????

Help!!! I am running Live on a IBM Thinkpad T42 with a 1.7 Pentium M. I have 1.5 gigs of Ram and an external 7200 RPM Glyph Drive and an M-Audio Ozonic. My performance test is peaking in the whopping mid 60% range. Seems to be more than 2x what it should be. I've looked through the thread and made some tweaks (i.e., though I already had Power Management to "always on."). I know there are some things in the Bios, but I'm not sure exactly what to do. Any assistance for this lost soul would be much appreciated.
EDIT -OK, I just realized that I was using the wrong sample rate. Sorry for the fire drill. I am still peaking at 34%. Not terrible, but maybe a little high for this machine?

16% , impressive ! - is that with PDC on?

Yup, without PDC it was mostly at 15% and some occassional peaks at 16%
with that cpu speed it was between 14-16 but mostly at 16%
at 2.9ghz cpu and 209MHz fsb cpu meter was 1% higher.
i have also second rig with ct-479, this time with celeron M cpu @ 2.1ghz, i might give it a try how it performs.
but just curious why does live like pentium m's (and core duos even more, as it seems).
maybe this perfomance test is too easy?

I don't even want to post my results
Guess it's time to get a new Powerbook

I'm guessing this is overclocked? Can you describe your methods to achieve 3.0 GHz out of the 780 (which is normally 2.26 GHz)? e.g. cooling, bios adjustments..

most of useful information is located there
in various dothan threads
for 3ghz my chip needs water-cooling, but from my experience with these, also high-end aircooling will suffice.
with ct-479 adapter bundled cooler i was able to attain 2.8ghz 100% stable speed.
i've tested 3 780's so far and all them showed similar results.
on a sidenote - i'm using asus p4gd1 motherboard.
but it seems - that at least for live - it's a killer combo and nextgen intel mobile architecure will just continue like that..

little high I would say, check my sig, I scored 25-27% w/internal 5400 HD and shitty built in jack. Maybe I'm going to redo the test with my new RME and see what happen.
Did you tweak as per Tarekith's website guidelines?
Check it!
