[H] Praise for x64/Nero Recode

2006-03-18 Thread CW
Ok, finally setup a partition to run X64.  Running a 4200+ X2.

Nero Recode to manage a full DVD:

3000+ Venice (same board  configuration) in XP64, Nero 7.0.8: 14:15
3000+ Venice (same board  configuration) in XP, Nero 7.0.8: 16:13
4200+ X2 (same board  configuration) in XP64: 5 mins, 32 Seconds
4200+ X2 (same board  configuration) in XP:  9 mins, 39 Seconds

Damn!  Good work on behest of the Nero folks ;)

(pics of outcomes available)

I wonder if the 4400+ X2 [Toledeo core] with the 1meg L2 would break 
the 5min barrier. ;-)

Very interesting. I can only speculate that the improved performance in x64 
has more to do with the extra GPR's becoming available than any performance 
improvement just from being 64bit, but I hope we can see these gains across 
the board in content creation apps.


The impact of 1MB of cache would indeed be interesting. I read somewhere 
that 64bit decreases the useful cache amount (due to the increased pointer 
size?), so we might see a bigger jump in a Toledo core.

Realistically, either way, I appreciate the implications.

Converting 8.5Gb Disc to a 4.5Gb disc as a test ;)  I had no problems at
all.  Total time to convert Mirror Mask  (which is a great movie, I bought
mine right away and recommend it as a weird film worth seeing) was 5:32.
Wallace  Gromit: 4:59 :)  Woo!  

Good perk.  

(as an FYI: I will openly admit, on this list, that childrens DVDs I copy as
soon as I buy, and my kids can play with the copies rather then the
originals.  I'll be damned if I'll rebuy a bunch of originals, I learned
that lesson after wiping out multiple copies of Ice Age )
