whats overclocking lol sorry im newb... :(

overclocking is pushing certain CPUs or other components (that are capable) beyond their rated specs. It is not recommended for newbies. Overclocking will burn out your CPU or other items like RAM or GPU unless done right and well cooled. IT is NOT a newbie project and I don't ever recommend it all unless you're willing to risk frying your system.

Even with proper cooling, it usually shortens the life of your components.
 
Is this thing still going?
Mine calculated 2 million in 1.37, with 53 processes running. If I only knew why I had so many, I'd turn them off and try again. 53 seems like a lot, doesn't it? Ah well. Cool program, Truflip :grinthumb
 
hehe, this thread will go on as long as there are ppl participating
I have 30 processes running (according to task manager)
53 sounds a bit too much. did you tweak ur windows?
I turned off a lot of services that I dont use or need so that dropped my running processes by a lot.

Thank you for your post.
I see that you have an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz .... (2 CPUs)
is this dual core or you have two physical CPUs?
 
I really don't know, I just copied it off system information. I know they're selling dimension 5150's with a dual core processor now, but I didn't think mine had one... I'm going to be opening this thing up today(new graphics card) so I'll let you know, I'm kinda interested myself. :suspiciou
EDIT: just looked in task manager, I have 50 processes running at the moment, 6 or 7 of them seem to be svchost.exe
 
yea i have 4 svchosts. some of them come from services found in services.msc google for 'service tweaks' to reduce ur running processes and increase performance (not guaranteed)

you prolly have dual core, not two CPUs then if you have one of those dells. :p have fun with yur new vid card :D
 
01m 42s :>

On a P4 D. 2.8GHz (it apparently only uses 1 core so)
1GB ram
45 Processes

and on my pc at home:

01m 31s
P4 3.2GHz
2GB ram
28 Processes

yes, 53 and even 40 processes is too many. most of them is just crap that starts up with the computer that there is no need for.

It is normal for multiple SVC hosts to be running at the same time.

You should tweak your system, when i have nothing open, I only have 17 processes running. most people will have more, but anything above 25 is too much IMO. programs do not need to start with the OS, they will open when you click them.

BTW, tweaking doesn't mean simply turning things off in task manager, it means disabling them from starting up automatically with the computer. this can be done by typing MSCONFIG in start > run and selecting startup tab. but that will only give you a few programs to select from.

a better way (besides editing the registry itself) is to right mouse click "my computer" and select "manage, expand "services and applications, click "services". you can then see what you don't need to start automatically and set them to "manual", if you don't want them to ever run (useful for some things such as messenger, which is used by companies to spam you), selct disable.
 
kohaar can u back that up with a screen pls that looks awfully much for a X2 2ghz AMD. (i oc'ed mine to 2700 and got only 1:20),3500+ single core.
 
kohaar, why do you have so many processes running???

i don't think i could have 61 processes running even if i tired.. lol :D

I get mad if any more than 20 are running... lol :)

Hehe. Good question. Got it down to 54, but thats still a lot.

My logitech driver uses 4 services. My wlan uses 5 services, smart card 1, AVG virusscan 3, firewall 2 ect.
 
thats very nice kohaar.. very nice. how does the lappy/CPU perform in real world apps? games and movie encoding (i kno encoding movies make CPU's beg for mercy lol) it must be like paradise having that CPU =P

It sure is :)

I haven't tried encoding movies, but I would not believe it to be a problem. I have made two examples for you:

2xSuperPi running at the same time

3D app and SuperPi running at the same time

All 3D apps without a framerate limiter on will eat all your cpu power, but as you can see, I still get a decent superpi score...

edit: Example of one 3D app running

edit2: Hehe. Just ran Oblivion in a 800x600 window while doing SuperPi. 1:24
 
I got 2mins 39seconds with a P4 Northwood 2.26 @2.72 with 1024 MB RAM and 576 MB free with 49 processes. Also i am going to try 32M overnight lol... anyone else wanna try 32M?
