However, I don't think this is a realistic test of how PS will run on a PC (or Mac). This is purely a test of processor number crunching. This requires very little memory access and no disk IO, so increased memory won't make much of a difference and an optimized disk pipeline won't make any difference. When you're editing multi-100 meg files and opening, tweaking, closing them memory and disk make _lots_ of difference.
I'm not suprised to see that muti-processor and HT processor chips faired better too, since this is a processor bound job.

PS. If you do this, don't forget that PS has a timer built in that will show the length of the last operation. Click on the black triangle in the status bar.

This is my brand new gateway notebook 7405 with AMD Athlon 3200+ 64 bit processor 1 MB L2 cache with 512 MB ddr ram and 80 GB hard drive. It also has ATI mobility radeon 9600 video card with 64 MB dedicated memory .
hmmmmmm.......centrino processors are actually looking good now

So who holds the slowest and fastest records for both Mac and PC so far?
My Toshiba laptop has got to be the slowest at 3:18. It's a 2.4GHz P4,but I can't seem to squeeze any better performance out of it. If someone has any clues, please fill me in. I have all the settings in the Performance section set to maximum.

I'd like to see the results in a graph form.

actually it quite unfair to test like this as you are buying into a system, not cpu only as this test has shown.
personally i use macs and linux and they are more stable and nicer.
but i can use any *nix or windows for that matter.
buy the way i own the fastest record and that's a windows machine.

That's strange, my 8400 wit same specs (but two HD 160 GB S-ATA with RAID controller) give me 49 s as processing time. The fact I'm using a RAID controller should give me better HD performance... I don't think the Graphics card would come into play, I have a ATI Radeon PCI-E 800 se.
Are you using XP professional? Or would it be the PS scratch disc that allows this difference in speed?
