How fast can your computer calculate Pi

Circa 36secs for my Toshiba T2300 @ 1.66GHz, 1GB of RAM.

I did it with pen and paper in 3 days, 8 hours, 23 minutes and 4 seconds! My arm and brain hurts now.

19secs for Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 running at stock 2.66GHz with 2GB of RAM.

Last post got deleted, but not sure why? So I'll just post exactly the same thing again!

38.703 secs for Intel Centrino Duo, 1.67 GHz and 1GB RAM

Advent 4211 Netbook 1.6GHz N270 Intel Atom Running XP = 1m 38.125s

Work Dell Optiplex GX260 2.2GHz P4 Running XP = 1m17.402s

I'm surprised the work desktop is faster than the netbook as subjectively it is desperately slow. This may be because it has whole disk encryption for security. Sadly the securiy didn't extend to blocking me from running this imported program which could have done just about anything.

Can you check your answer against digit 967,254 onwards from this program - I did a quick check in my head and I reckon the program gets it wrong from there on. Unless I did of course :rolleyes:

Similar speed to GunJack so pretty pleased as its a couple of years old now and runs everything fine and loads up pretty quickly.
