What's your benchmark?

Man I guess Mac users need not apply...

Here we go ... using Parallels 6 on an 8Gb MBP, with 4Gb allocated to the VM

Just check out the Graphics Score!

L4 works nicely on the VM at least it did until Tuesday when it stopped working altogether because the graphics would not work (see this thread). Now I have run the tests I am beginning to think Parallels / W7 fault. No other apps seem to have drawing issues ...

If there is anybody else with a current MBP and Parallels who could do this and let me know what the graphics test is I would be grateful. (Go on ... see if you can beat the high score!)

ouch!

Dominick, I agree with Rosie about curiosity about your system.  I am not familiar with your OS.  Is that a system the average user would benefit from and be able to causally use?

Logos performs perfectly well for me on this laptop. Note that this is the 3rd of my Logos computer devices (not including my iPod Touch). My other two computers are more powerful than this one.

NovaBench Score: 172

It's a Netbook, People.

 

I'm impressed that you've actually even got Logos running on a Netbook. What's the performance experience like for you?

Hi;

Sluggish searches, but it never times out and crashes. I got it to take to the creek, or to the mountaintop. A Kindle on steroids. It does all I expected of it and more. Naturally, I have a PC for home study. ( over 1000 benchmark )

Edit: It's also very cool for inductive/markup study at a WiFi coffee shop, etc. It fits nicely in a leather bible cover, and the 9 cell battery keeps you up and running for 5 hours+.[:)]

I run Logos on a netbook daily and really have no major issues. 

I got a good Hardware score is because my Primary Partition Capacity is larger, which in many cases will not improve performance at all

The write speed and Primary Partition size are not that relevant to L4 eg. my L4 is on a different partition. The other 3 test subjects are more relevant.

I have been out of town, so it took a little longer to post the updated numbers and review of the SSD.

The new drive didn't change the NovaBench numbers much. (As Expected) Although the performance is better, it is an 80GB SSD, compared to a 640 GB HD. Capacity is a large factor in the Novabench scores. The Windows Experience Index seems to better reflect the improved handling of the machine. It increased from 5.9 to 7.5. ( on a scale of 1.0 to 7.9)  All of the terms such as MBs/S and calculations per second are relative and obscure. The one that really matters is the smiles per second scale. On that one, the numbers are off the chart. An SSD boot drive is well worth the expense. No, I don't work for, or own stock in Intel.[:P] 

I like being able to gauge the strengths of my old laptop compared to my new one. But it raises questions. The score of my old one (Toshiba duo-core) is about one third of the new one (Asus G73JW) but the increase in speed with Logos is not (`3x faster) what I would have expected. Why? And maybe the answers will help us Logos users in the future when we go to upgrade again.

BTW - Dave, you said the HD write speed and primary partition capacity is pretty much a non - factor with Logos. Do you mean A SDD hard drive (like what Abi upgraded to) will not make searches "snappier" ? will not noticibly affect speed / performance of L4?

So what do these scores mean in terms of better performance / faster searches / etc. within Logos?

My first guess is CPU related, but the score of Asus [514] crushed my Toshiba [215] but the Toshiba CPU speed is:  2.26GHz @ 2267 MHz comp. w/ Asus: 1.73GHz @ 1734 MHz (although burst speeds of the i7 are supposed to be much higher).

Secondly, the Toshiba Hardware test scored 27 while my Asus only 19 (both are 7200PPM). Would not a SSD increase the score and if so increase performance some? I thought I did my research before buying, but this is not adding up.

That benchmark is with "hyperthreading" temporarily turned on. Theoretically higher performance but useless for gaming.

I'm a bit of a PC gamer and overclocker, but thanks to my discovery of Logos it's all being used for more Godly purposes.

After I got over a brief twinge of envy, I ended up very happy for you!          *smile*

          You must be pleased!              That's one of the most powerful machines that have been shared here!

Well-done!

What I didn't tell everyone is that my XPS 600 developed a problem with the motherboard, and I bought this new one entirely, and I hate to admit this, on credit with Dell.  I hate bills and I believe I should be debt free, but it was either have a computer or not and I chose to have one.  So all envy should remember I am owing every month.  [8o|]  Also I paid right about $2,500 for this system.  The good news is that five years ago, a top end comparable machine would be double that price.

There is always a faster machine, such as life.  The post by Thomas Bourega with a score of 1797 shows that!  [Y]

Logos runs extremely fast.  Of course, I have two SSD's in a Raid 0 configuration.  I built this computer almost 2 years ago specifically with the logos specs in mind.  Put in the SSD's over christmas-and put my original velocitiraptors (10,000 RPM) also in a Raid 0 config and use it for storage (all my docs, music, pics, basically everything but the OS and logos).

This configuration is close to the absolute minimum for Logos 4. The main weaknesses of this old system are the single core processor and slow HD. My microATX motherboard has all the best pieces but they just won't do anymore. Lousy performance for a desktop. Too bad I'm a seminary student and don't really have the means to upgrade :P

I'm one of the posters that had a very high score.  The PC I posted with was a replacement for one that went bad.  I prayed long and hard for my new PC with high Novabench, and I make no apologies for it.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

My sympaties.  I thought the benchmark on my "old" laptop was poor, but this is worse.  Hope you're able to upgrade soon.  Remember that other verse we all learned

No cash, you crash.  Hezekiah 6:15

George, this note book is my upgrade.[:D]  Just bought it less then a year ago at the local Sam´s here in southern mexico. 

It has worked fine for powepoint presentacions.  [:)] 

It does not weigh too much, is small.  It fits in my older laptop carrying case (from my old hp that died), along with my spanish bible and songbook. [:D]

I am upgrading, I am just doing it slower than others.[:O]

George, I think your quote from Hezekia 6:15 really hit the mark. [Y]

But it should be cross referenced with "Naomi 6:1".[;)]   You know the part where Naomi and her daugher in law from the land of Crash, mets up with an old geezer how has a lot of Cash.[;)]

Eat your heart out. [:)]

I have a 12 yr old Gateway computer with a Pentium 2 processor and 750 Mb of memory which is admittedly somewhat slow in running L4, but which does manage to do so without too many problems.

George, that is the same one that George Washington used. [:D]
