Sounds like I’ll be getting a new computer soon—this should make everything a faster. I’m working on a computer that’s benchmarked at roughly 3300. My new computer should be close to 7000-8000. I used Geek Bench to benchmark my computer and compare numbers. They actually have a really nice application and website. Check it out, and tell me how fast your computer is. Here’s a screenshot of their computers… You’ll notice that my computer isn’t even in this photo.
From the sound of it, you must be getting at least Mac Pro Quad. I just benched my new, out of the box MPB 2.6 i7, 8GB mem and I was only hitting 5780. I don't know if switching to 64bit would help. You pay for geekbench to get 64bit testing functionality.
Man, I wish I was getting a Quad Core. I might just have to buy a quad core iMac for my home.
What are you pimpin?
