Looking through aliexpress dot com (I don't shop there, I just drool), I wondered just how fast/slow my computer was. Then I found this site, the International Computer Penis Size Competition. Just for giggles I let it run, and it gave me a result of 0.38 Gflops first time, 0.37 Gflops second time. Apparently, my computer's slow, it even gave me the snail badge.
BTW, someone did an awesome troll. Check the pic out. Place #41, near Brisbane, has the best sense of humour I've seen in some time- though I envy his computer.
[Actual ways to faster computer are beyond the scope of this thread, but if you feel like it, why not]
And here I am, still wondering how do I faster computer. Thinking of installing the OS in a SSD, maybe on RAID-1 with a small disk. Heard SSD makes computer boot up turbo fast, but are prone to failing (RAID-1 will take care of that); more memory might help too. Thought of upgrading the motherboard, but that would be expensive. Still, not willing to spend money on solid state drives, not from aliexpress at any rate.
