Gimme some other sorta benchmark. The last one WAS titled AltiVec Fractal Carbon after all. It was designed to mkae best use of Altivec.
Like, comparing Norton Utilities' Benchmarking tool. That could be interesting. Anybody with a G4 wanna run it? Let's compare. I'll run it and return the stats tomorrow. I'm going to bed.
Where can one go about getting this benchmarking tool? Is it included in NU 6.0 or what? I'll acquire a copy if it is... though, it would be rather pointless since since most of Symantec's apps are old OS9 crap.

haha, didn't know I was the only one that could answer your question
It is included with NU, called System Info. Yes, it is 9 crap - which I still run because X is too slow and classic sucks.
I just wish Maxon would carbonize Cinebench cince uses the exact same engine as Cinema 4D which has been carbonized for a long time (a GREAT app, by the way).

Run RC5! We spank Wintels.
299 megaflops on my G3 500. .3 gigaflops.
Sigh.

That low huh? Wow that AltiVec stuff must really help!

benchmarks == statistics, IMO <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
That said, I usually get just between 3.5 and 3.6 GigaFlops on my dual 500 G4.
My old 250MHz 604ev gets a killer 176 MegaFlops! :cool:
But what's this NU benchmarker? I can't find it on Symantec's web site... is this free or a part of NU or NSW?
On NU-
1206-CFU
1103-FPU
<strong>On NU-</strong><hr></blockquote>

Must I repeat myself?

On the OS 9 version of Norton Utilities, there is a wonderful little benchmarking utility.
I dunno whether there is one on Norton Utilities for X.
iBook 366 227 megaflops

it can't be using the G3 card
Here's another benchmarking app (for 3D stuff) called Cinebench 2000:
