Hey Guys I was wondering at what x u guys encode -preset standard mp3s at. At home on my mom's computer its a p3 500 & its about 1x. which really sucks. On my own computer, a 1.33GhZ AMD, its about 3x.

I was wondering about various other cpus & their encodeing times. Any possible information will be greatly appriacited for I am plannin to purchase another computer either for myself (if its faster) or for my mom.

Thanks

edit: Thanks for reminding me... yea i use LAME 3.90.2ICL for both

4 - 4,5x on Athlon 1700XP+ with Lame 3.90.2 ICL (report the lame version too for comparisions (is that spelled right?) )


0,8-0,7 on my old PII 333Mhz with Lame 3.90.2 ICL

4.5-5.5x depending on the song on my p4 2.12 ghz on a sis 645 mainboard and ddr2100 ram. using lame 3.90.2 and aps. usually get double that speed with mpc though.

3.91, --alt preset standard,

Y2K, VIA266A/DDR256MB, AthlonXP 1700+,

4X.

3.90.2=4.1x.

Are you sure? 7x? Isn't --alt-preset fast?
or your song was too easy to encode?
My processor is the same as your and how do you encode twice as fast as mine!?

Sorry, I remembered Razerlame telling me something about 7x when I used mp3 .

on p3/800 around 2x. (3.90.2 --alt-preset standard)
