Anyway - 7.9s across the board with the exception of my HDD score - it's at 5.9 because thankfully Intel SRT doesn't cache pointless benchmarks.

I guess I should invest in some SSDs

Your CPU is sad and you should be sad!
Just kidding.
For what it's worth, there are some real gems to be found. I just recently ran across an i5-2500K that has no upper limit. I accidently set it for 5.5GHz on first boot and it just said "OK, sure, let's try that." That sort of OCing makes me panic, though, so I backed it back down to stock (3.3/3.7Turbo) and have slowly been edging it up. Still on all stock voltages currently doing a multi-day run of Prime95-64 and a looped compile at 4.8GHz. Of course, before that were two different i7-920s that wouldn't OC at all, so I feel your pain.

I hope you are anthropomorphizing my CPU and not insulting me
It was a side-grade from a Q9550 when I wanted to use integrated graphics for a while due to crazy work hours. I look at it this way: I have a free upgrade waiting for me when I feel like really getting into fine tuning the voltages.
just brew it! wrote:I think the disk score for my Win7 VM is only as high as it is because the virtual disk is sitting in the host OS's file cache. The underlying volume is actually a pair of Caviar Blacks set up as a software RAID-1, so not something you'd expect to score a 7.1.
