Good to see that you and wlescall have nearly identical times with the similar systems. Confirms to me that the benchmark is more of a cpu test than anything else.

It's about $700 for cpu+mobo+fast ram and aftermarket cpu heatsink. That's all you really need to overclock a 920 to over 4.0ghz. This is assuming you have pretty decent ATX power supply from your current system and have a computer case and keyboard and mouse and monitors and graphics cards that you can still reuse. One thing to watchout for is to make sure your computer case has decent air flow or else it might overheat even with an awesome aftermarket heatsink.

Yes but you'd need over a thousand of them to hold a single image from the D3 in TIFF format. Even my first hard drive (a 33MB Quantum full height 5 1/4") could only store one D3 NEF file at a time.
C64 was too advanced for me, I'm still using my 2MHz Z-80 starter kit from SD Sales with it's whopping 1K of system memory.

Timgangloff >> not bad. I've seen those Q6600 clock to mid 3+ GHz easy with better cooling. You can probably pull off 6 minutes flat. Although, I'm not sure if Dell motherboards allow overclocking
That's still very good bang for the buck. My buddy bought one 2 years ago and it still works fine, and from your specs, it works at decent speeds too.

I hear ya - my very first computer was a TS-1000 - I still have it...somewhere
I got the 16Kb expansion kit, and I remember playing Chess (off cassette tape) on Level 3 and it taking about half an hour for the computer to make a move - I never waited long enough to see how long Level 4-6 took!

Something that is more realistic to a photoshop user - not just one that is unrealistic and is not a witch hunt and ego boost to tout having a fast system.
This time next year, a 4Ghz i7 will be mainstream.
The reason I chose the cpu intensive filter was because the only time where I felt my old system was too slow was CPU intensive filters like noise reduction where it takes like 30 seconds to do the process. Since not everyone have noise reduction software, I thought the photoshop filter I suggested is a good way to test out CPU intensive photoshop filter.

It's also an excellent way to test for those of us who don't have a 24MP camera, and don't run filters over 20 layer images. You know, like most of us...
But I do get great frame rates when I play Left 4 Dead.
, left for dead 4. You definitely have me beat for that. I didn't even buy a new graphics card for this system. Still using a 256mb HD3850 that I bought used a while back for the old system.

Ouch... not a bad card for most stuff though. I broke down and spent $85 on an ATI 4830. Mainly because it is nearly dead silent... well until I break out left 4 dead and it heats up.
time = 5.01
