I've had my quad G5 now for about 2 weeks and I am concerned about its performance. I'm worried that I may have a hardware defect of some kind.
My configuration is:
Quad G5
GeForce 6600
Total RAM 6 Gigabytes
Two 500 Gigabyte internal hard drives.
When I run Xbench I get much lower scores than I have seen posted for this machine. For example my "CPU Test" score is 126 versus the 243 I've seen posted elsewhere. Also on xbench my "memory test" score is 135 versus the 517 score that has been reported. The Cinebench 2003 rendering score is 820 compared to the 1091 I see reported on another website. But on the other hand, I get between 29 and 32 Gigaflops on the Altivec Fractal test where 25 is the value on the test web site.
To summarize
My results: Results posted elsewhere for the
quad G5:
CPU Test 126 243
Memory Test 135 517
Cinebench 2003 820 1091
Altivec Fractal 29-32 GFLOPS 25 GFLOPS
Fill test 7736 9840
In all of these tests, with the exception of the Altivec test, my scores are much lower than elsewhere reported. What should I do? Should I be alarmed?
Thanks
John
