Whats faster for SuperPI 1M Windows or Linux. I have a relic of a processor AMD Althon XP1800 (pally) and its about 7seconds quicker under Linux, compaired to windows. Is this the norm for higher end processors and computers.
My PI time was 64secs :clap:
how do you bench super PI under linux?
I think you can't compare the windows based one to a linux based one.
The linux based one uses maybe SSE2 etc. and an other way for calculating PI.
Or did you use Wine?

Nahh I used the linux version, I dont think its that diffrent to the Windows version.

Its actually quite easy to run under linux and you dont need much knowledge to run it. I recon If I used gentoo with a good Kernel I might get even better.

Since you can't compare your scores anyway, what's the point, unless you need those digits of Pi of course... ;)

I get about 10 seconds less using Linux SuperPi. In windows I get around 39 seconds for 1M, while in Linux I get 28 seconds.
