Its actually alot better than I thoguth it to be, that or not alot of people have done this yet.
I'm surprised you got such a high score, as well. :|
Heh, my stats pretty much trounce yours and it lists it as lower. Something's fishy here.
Hmm. My computer is so awesome, they can't even measure it.

... So, Mozilla on Linux doesn't like them. *shrug* It still outperforms most windows boxes I've met, even though it's only an athlon 1400+ with 768Mb RAM...
My work desktop is a bit better - dual Xeon 2.6Gb with 1.5Gb RAM, and a scsi raid array with 140 odd Gb disk space

The score I posted is old. I just ran it again and I got 10%. :cry
Is it bad when the test starts laughing?

Same here.
Whee, top 6%.
Just wait til next year though, I plan to put the best of the best in this thing >.>
I'm running IE7/Vista so I can't use that tool, but...
AMD Athlon-64 3200+
2GB DDR400 RAM
ATi Radeon X700 Pro AGP
Creative X-fi
500 GB HDD (one 300GB, one 200GB)
DVD-+RW DL Burner with Lightscribe
DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo Drive
CD-RW Burner
Not cutting edge, but it'll, at a minimum, decently run any game I throw at it.
This site has no appreciation for my hardware and it eats your old stats alive.

Using IE while still in Firefox FTW. (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/)

Edit: added the first link link to clarify...
This old barge gets frequent updates whilst retaining the same brain so it's both old/new at the same time and if asked, could probably twist reality inside out. And is too awesome to measure.
I really think tests like this are rather sad though because there are things they don't take into account when measuring the awesomeness of a PC, important things.
I've seen PCs running half the specs of other PCs eat them alive. How one treats their machine, what one runs on that machine and how optimized and well-mainted their machine is in general also comes into play.
A properly and daily maintained machine, running swift, supremely optimized software is always going to eat a machine that's undefragmented and filled up with spyware and bloat, with continuous clock cycles being wasted on pointless endeavours, alive. Quite so in fact.
And when one has a high end machine in specs that's maintained on a daily basis? Well ...

In fact, about the only jump I haven't made yet is the Core2 and that's going to happen soon enough. I'm still running cooling research at the moment to find out what it needs so I don't make a rash decision about what I cool it with.
I don't actually have a PC of my own, so I assume that would give me a negative score.
I'd imagine you'd get no score, then as opposed to a negative one. Still, if you had an X-Box configured to run Linux and it allowed for a Linux app to measure the spec, it'd make a dent. Microsoft's hardware isn't bad at all.

Sorry, but any test that requires the use of IE is inherently Invalid. Also tells me that whoever built it is probably using ActiveX controls. That also means that the webpage is inherently insecure. So, if you did visit it, clean out your cookies, clear your history, and do the normal maintence checks (like making sure your AV is up to date). And for crying outloud, GET CURRENT ON A BROWSER!
It's not a "test" like everyone keeps saying, the thing it installs only finds out what you're using for specific pieces of hardware and such, and compares it to everyone else's with a strange "bigger numbers are better" system

Yes my computer s*cks :mowwink
clearing my cookies now :mowdizzy

ActiveX might suck but Futuremark is far from some dodgy website offering free megahertz checks
Although, I saw the test ages ago when it was on Slashdot and it was lame then and it's lame now... so people might as well just skip it anyway.
I'm just gonna run 3DMark06 instead.
Intel P4 B 2.4GHz
Nvidia Geforce 6800GT (v91.47 drivers)
Score: 2250
That's 43 points higher than last time (v81.92 drivers)
I get an astounding 0.2 frames per second on the CPU tests and 9fps on the shader model tests :laugh
.2 fps? WOW! don't blink, or... the frame will still be there. *facepalms*
Hooray for CPU's that are 4 years old!
Actually, the amusing part is the the onscreen readout can't actually go that slow so during the test it says it's going faster...

I'm still running a 1GHz T-bird. I haven't decided what to replace it with. I'd like a 64-bit system for programming purposes, but I'd also like a Mac although they still start from $750 and no-one sells them anyway.
OH, just remembered, shouldn't the topic title be "How Awesome Art Thy Computer"?

How'd you get top 1% with that setup?
Ok, apparently the thing is bugged up as to whose systems are where.
My comp is too awesome for IE only websites and XP-only gimmicks, even if it's about 3 years old.
Athlon XP 2600+
Radeon 9700 PRO
512 Mb RAM :<
200 GB HD
NForce2 chipset
Windows 2K
Soon to be upgraded to a Core2 system, with a shiney new PCI Express video card, and a shiney new pira^H^H^H^Hhacked windows XP install.
What do you recommend, Vidar?

I had that processor up until a few weeks ago, and for the several years I had it, it was great.
It wouldn't make a difference if I ran the test or not because I'm not logging in from my home-PC, however, more than half of you leave me well in the dust. Ofcourse, considering the fact that I didn't spend a DIME on my PC, that can be expected. It apparantly used to be a beefed up Compaq Presario, now it's a mish-mash of the parts that were left over, and some things I could find off-handedly.
My PC (unupgraded):
1.2Gb Athlon AMD (Not yet overclocked)
120Mb RAM
total of 13.6Gb between three HDs
DVD-ROM
I HAD a CD burner, but I need to discover what's wrong with it.
Runs XP pro because I didn't care to bull-doze my old files.
Upgrade price tag won't be greater than 180$ but I shouldn't have to pay more than 100 period. After that I just need to find some internet.
120Mb of RAM?! :erk I'd say a minimum now-a-days should be 512.
120 megabits eh? that's pretty low for any computer at all.
thats not even possible by computer maths
2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16 -> 32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 -> 512 -> 1024 (though rounded to 1000)
Actually it is possible if he's using an integrated video card. A lot of them don't have RAM dedicated to the video card, so considering his system's age it's possible that integrated video card is taking an 8MB chunk.
Alternatively he's got a 64, a 32, a 16, and an 8. This is rather less likely... :-)

Or any combination thereof. E.G. You can have a 128 DIMM + a 256 MB DIMM in the same computer working fine, and have a total of 384MB of RAM.
These days I wouldn't be caught dead with less then 512 MB of RAM. My next system will have 2048 MB.

That's mega
byte. 120 megabits would be 15 megabyte, and I don't think there's a computer made in the last decade that has such an embarrassing amount of RAM.

It's still a computer....

So is my pocket calculator, the timer in my microwave, and the program manager in my washing machine, but we aren't talking about those either. Now put your electronic agenda away, and let's get back to the real computers. >:3
back in 1996, they were only just making P2's. And I'm sure, if I look, I can find you a 486 that was made back then, with <16Mb RAM.
If not a pentium that was built with that much.
Ah, the memories...

*ahem* I'm making fun of the fact they say Mb instead of MB. Mb is megabit, MB is megabyte.
I can't explain the lack of the eight Mb either, but I checked and that's what it tells me. All in all it's hard to care either, 'since it won't stay that way if I can help it; the processor is decent enough and RAM doesn't cost much!
It IS awfully slow though, just running Windows 'since XP cuts what I have in half as it is.

Which is not good enough! Need another GFX card, more RAM and a new CPU, if anyone has some high-tech, quality computer parts around, I'll be glad to take them off your hands. :P
How cute.
To start with, it didn't detect my GeForce 7800 GTX... Granted that that might be because I'm currently rdesktopping, which uses a video driver hook. Still, it shouldn't depend on looking at some CURRENT_DISPLAY to detect it.
Second, it grabbed the free space on my System drive. Not factoring in the other two drives. So it says I have 130 gigs free, when I'm somewhere over the 300 gig mark (out of 500).
*shrug* Until I run into a game that actually manages to drag this thing down, I'll be happy with it. :)
Same here. I recently upgraded my computer's awesomeness and now I'll never remember the meaning of "slow"
Curses, it requires a scan, so it'll only measure this piece of crap. I'd rather it measure G.O.D.
When I bought it, the Generally Omnipotent Device was one of the most powerful computers in Ohio; absolute top-of-the-line, and it was custom assembled, not from a company like this Dell box. It still has the second-fastest 64-bit Pentium available, but with only 1GB RAM and 128MB video card, it's showing its age. The DVD burner can't even do the -R DL's.
As for hard drive space, I could care less. I abuse the hell out of it to the point that it requires a complete reformatting every three months, so the drive just barely gets full. I've got two DVD-RW's that can backup absolutely everything I need, which is all organized to be backed up when necessary.
