G4 Benchmark Fun
I've just run a benchmark called xbench. on my G4 Powermac Digital Audio/Tiger. It scored a 122.09. For anyone who has not run it, there is an online database that you can submit scores to, so that you can compare it to other Macs. My DA has a 1Ghz Sonnet CPU upgrade, 1GB of RAM, 120GB Seagate HD, and the stock GF2 MX video card. I'd be very interested in seeing other G4 benchmark scores, particularly older G4's that have been upgraded. If you decide to run this benchmark, please post your machine model, RAM, CPU speed, and video card. If you have added any upgrades, please post them too. If you want to compare your score directly to mine, it's called "Harryc ’s Power Mac G4" on the
xbench comparison website. BTW, The top score on a DA is 199 - Powerlogix Dual 1.4 / Radeon 9800 Stock/MHz Dual-Monitor-Konfi, SATA Maxtor 120GB. Since this G4 is old school so to speak, it also might be interesting to see some newer G4 or G5 scores to see how much new equipment is blowing away old school . Before you go there, I realize this is a synthetic benchmark, and as such may not adequately represent real world performance...bla..bla. Spare me, this is for fun.
