    3.81 seconds for 1 million digits.
    I think I ought to point out that I was using pifast 4.3 on an Athlon XP-M underclocked to 1.7 GHz.
    Super pi is one application that seems to under perform on AMD processors.

    AMD cpu's never work out with this prog. Also I think superpi only uses one core.
    I'll try again in the morning - when its cooler - currently running 3.5ghz
    You can get better times when your memory is running faster, too
