I have read a few threads about Xbench on this forum and a few others and i was wondering what exactly it is and what are some average scores for my comps.?

I have a 1.33 ghz 12 inch ibook with a 60gb hd, 1gb of ram, and a combo drive

My other is a 1.67 ghz 15" Powerbook with a 100gb hd, 2gb of ram and a super drive.

Are you supposed to run this test after a clean install or with all the programs and stuff on the computer? Thanks for your help and pateince.

Xbench is poo. You're not supposed to run it.

xbench is a 'benchmarking' app that tests the overall speed of your computer amongst other individual components. what mduell is hinting at is the inconsistency of the application, which is highly suspect. i use it to get a general idea of whats going on, but never refer to it as scripture. to see what your computers average, go to www.xbench.com and click on the link to compare...where youll be presented with 100+ results for either machine.
