Hey guys, thought I'd show ya the speed differences. This is on my Digital Audio w/ Giga Designs 1 Ghz, 768 RAM, and Radeon 8500. I couldnt run the CPU test in Panther because XBench would crash. So the individual scores matter, not the overall.

Quartz seems to be problematic in 7B53, so the tests should be taken lightly.

I am impressed with the User Interface tests though!

Wow!
