This also says something about the stability of the hardware.
Wiping the smug smile of Mac user's faces, muhahaha!!! (don't take this too seriously, people)One often hears geeky Mac users comparing their uptime to see who has the most stable system. I decided to see what Windows 7 is capable of doing, so as of June 16 I have not performed a single restart or shutdown. Of course it isn’t much of a challenge to do so with an idle machine, so I had my CPU sweating it out running World Community Grid. That alone wasn’t enough, so I gave the graphics card its own workout using Bitcoin.
The test machine we used comprised of the following hardware:
Phenom 2 1055T overclocked to 4.2GHz
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Black heatsink fitted with two Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1450RPM fans
MSI 790FX-GD70
4GB SuperTalent DDR2200 CL8 running at DDR1800 6-6-6-18
Inno3D GeForce GTX 480 with an Accelero Extreme Plus cooler
Antec Quattro 850w PSU
2x Samsung 1TB Spinpoint F3 in RAID0
Windows 7 64-bit
Day 1
The machine is nice and snappy, no doubt partly due to the fairly fresh installation of Windows. Opera, Windows Media Player and My Computer (or, more accurately, just “Computer”) all open instantly, and switching between the various open applications is a breeze. RAM usage is sitting pretty at a fraction under 2GB while the CPU and graphics card are each sitting at 100%.
