You're crazy lol. But I'm little crazy too :) I have one desktop and one 11 years old laptop.

:D It's helpful having more than one PC, because of one dies, you've got spares. If my 2500K rig were to die for any reason, I can use the Core 2 Quad until I can get a replacement rig. :)

Just installing XPx64 on the 3700+ rig now. I had to remove and reinstall the IDE cable from the drive and motherboard because for some reason my DVD drive wasn't being detected but now it is. I'll have to run the benchmark with the side panel removed, just in case the CPU gets too hot.

I've tested the app in XPx64 in a VM by the way, works OK in case you were wondering.

my light 8-threaded was unlocked to x6, and i re-ran the 4-threaded at 3.4ghz and got a 171.3019205, i know at 3.8 i had a 151.???????, which if you do the math is almost an exact scaling, the cpu was ~11% faster and the bench ~12%

I have at least 12 working computers here.
Some just aren't worth much to sell and worth more to me just to keep them.
Plus I have parts to put a couple more together if I needed to.

I think you just made a hit. You could have a backgroud of the CF logo, and say official CF benchmarking tool (ask ian to make it official, he might not like that its official), and have the link only on CF. Official CF Benchmark tool, by Smiles it could say. You can just ask somebody to change the name of the thread.

Norton threat detected. Now, I know you guys wouldnt put a virus on my lappy, but, do you think there is any way to stop that? And, it doesnt start. I am on 64 bit 7, and it says "SmilesApp has stopped working".

We used Visual Studio 2010 and wrote the program in VB.NET. It's a pretty easy language to learn, it was the first language Smiles and I learned (I've been coding in VB.NET for 2 years now).

If you don't wanna buy VS 2010, you can download Visual Basic 2010 Express from Microsoft for free and use that http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express it's just like a smaller (and free) version of Visual Studio 2010.

The application is 64-bit only, so if you're trying to run it on a 32-bit OS it won't work. You could try disabling/turning off/removing (hint hint) Norton and try running again. Do you have at least .NET Framework 2.0 installed?

I ran both benchmarks (4 & 8) with ram oc'ed on the G75,

Corsair Vengeance DDR3-12800 1600MHZ-- oc'ed 1866MHZ

and there was virtually no difference in either benchmark-- not even a full second higher or lower.

Should I learn C++, or VB, which one is easier?

VB.NET (not VB, VB.NET, they're two different languages) to begin with and then move into C++ and C# later on. VB.NET is a bit more limited than C++ and C# though, just bear in mind.
