Super PI 2 million digits extravaganza!

[Frames]

Found this program a while back and thought it would be cool to have a little fun with it.

How fast can your processor calculate pi to 2 million digits?? Grab it here and find out! State time+processor speed+checksum here!

Digits: 2 million
Time: 1 minute 48 seconds
Checksum: D375E308
Processor: Intel Pentium D 820 @ 2.8 Ghz

My work machine: 1 Minute, 9.811 seconds.

And that was with a bunch of stuff running and while streaming music!

Pure calculation may not be the best of benchmarks though...

EDIT: Especially since the program is single threaded. My dual core is only beign half-used. It'd go much faster if they threaded it. (actually, I wonder if you CAN thread a PI calculator... hmm....)

well it was just for fun is all

and yes you should be able to thread a pi calculator
