#XBENCH TEST MAC#

In fact a lot of people in the past would use ram drives to jack their scores up. One of the things I remember that will drastically change your score is the harddrive speed. Here you go clean - I ran xbench again this morning. Just run the benchmark and post your score and get on with it! It's not the final score you should focus on but the individual scores that each category gets. I compare it to what other macs I have used have scored.

What the benchmark is good for is just a general comparison. (my Digital Audio G4 Tower 1.2ghz which I since sold scored close to 80 on this benchmark, and like 140 on the older rating system of the benchmark)

#XBENCH TEST UPGRADE#

My first upgrade will be a much faster harddrive. It's a bit slow, but it's a single G4 and it has a slow harddrive. (which I just bought today from someone for only $250.00 )

And only run the tests that are actually of importance to you. The ONLY good way to benchmark is to run the applications YOU will run, in situations similar to the ones you'll put your computer in. The fact that one computer is ten times faster than another one at Photoshop, even if we disregard Rosetta, does not mean diddlysquat if you never run Photoshop. There is no such thing as 'general computing performance.' All there is, is how well a certain computer performs at a certain task. So why is it that a 20' Intel iMac gets a UI test score of 20, which is about as much as the iBook G4? And one even bigger problem with it: Intel Macs always get shitty UI scores in Xbench, despite the fact that it's common knowledge that the Intel Macs 'feel' a whole lot faster in terms of UI speed. Things like the vecLib FFT test are not really comparable between the Intel Macs and the PowerPC Macs. And only sometimes, at that: Xbench's results are often pretty varying even on the same hardware.Īnother problem with it is how it works. All it will tell you is that it will run Xbench better.

The fact that computer A beats computer B at Xbench does NOT mean it will be faster at Safari, or Photoshop, or Doom 3, or anything else for that matter. All it does is tell you how well the computer runs Xbench. The problem with something like Xbench is that it doesn't tell you anything vital. I guess you should run a bunch of Photoshop benchmarks, or something. Now searches can be restricted to only new segments, ongoing translations, or even by excluding blocked segments in the search results.Click to expand.You mean that doesn't suck? None, really.

More specific selection of segments to perform a search.

Now you can organize list elements in categories and execute them selectively. It now works with SDLX memories, Atril DejaVu and Idiom files and Logoport RTF files.

Compatibility with a larger number of formats.

Now it is possible to search for and add elements from a list through the use of common expressions, grammar, or Microsoft Word wildcards.

New support for common expressions and Microsoft Word Wildcards.

This version offers the following functions: Right now, XBench 2.8 is in Beta testing.

Dictionaries exported from IBM TranslationManager.

Folders installed from IBM TanslationManager.

Bilingual Word document files worked with Trados.

Glossaries exported from Trados Multiterm.

Memories exported from Trados Workbench.

This tool allows different input formats, for example: If customized lists are used, translators can set up the Quality Control process based on their needs in order to find, for example, forbidden characters or words. It also helps detect problems in the quality of translations, such as untranslated segments, source text used in the target file, inconsistencies in the translation, errors in the transfer of tags and numbers, double spaces, inconsistencies in terminology in relation to a list of keywords, among others. It is quite effective when searching within different linguistic resources (glossaries and translation memories, etc.).
