Thanks for the bench test. It inspired me to get a new system after the first one only scored 543 secs! I chose the 55 FX over the Pentium 3.76 EE due to heat factors.

You've got a lot of proving to do. Don't know how but without that no one's believing that!

Apparently I found out what happened. I was using the jpg file from the info/how to page not the one provided in the exe with the Action file! I will edit and post the real scores with the correct file now.

Not for long with intel cpus coming along soon in the forthcoming macintoshes. A good step for Apple, the powerpc chips are not scaling at all and are now showing their deficiencies.

I'm not sure if I need to do anything to Photoshop to get it to make use of both CPU cores or weather it does it on it's own. Anyone know?

As most of you know, we have our own custom Driverheaven Photoshop script which tests system performance. If you have never seen this a tutorial for installing and running along with download information is available over here

Due to the fact our huge forum thread was turning into a bit of a mess we now have opened an online database so everyone can enter and compare their scores.

The fastest scores go to the top of the database so while we all want you to compare your scores, please enter genuine figures so everyone can get a good indication of relative system performance across the board.

Once you submit your figures, the database will calculate your total score and position you accordingly within the table, clicking on each user name gives a full system specification for that entry along with the version of photoshop used.

So please be sure to help us fill this database and head over to here and if you have any questions please discuss in this thread
