this might be fun.

run it to measure how long it takes to calculate pi to 2 million digits

i'll start it off
Dell Inspiron 5100 P4 2.6G
512 MB of ram
40G HD 5400rpm

3 min 24 sec

1 min and 38 sec for PI up to the 2millionth digit.

My computer specs:
1GB of RAM
AMD 64 San Deigo 2.2GHz 3700+ processor
SATA WD 250Gb HDD (not sure about the rpm)

37min and 04 secs for it to calculate up to the 32millionth digit of pi.

Am I a geek or what?

37 min? i havent tried to 32 million. but according to the text file that came in that zip

"In order to calculate 33.55 million
digits, it takes within 3 days with Pentium 90MHz, 40MB main memory and
340MB available storage."

how long ago was that kind of specs common?

Well the program was made in 1995, that explaines why it say that.
