Time to execute Photoshop 7 test script while iTunes visuals are running full screen in the background. All times in seconds, shorter bars are better.

The above test is a seriously difficult task for any processor to run. If you wish to duplicate it, this is what is involved. I would use caution - this CAN AND WILL overheat processors. If you have problems with your machine locking up while running this test, investigate the thermal bond between the heatsink and processor - this will stress your computer more than anything! Open iTunes and play a song. For this test I chose a 10 minute live version of a Rolling Stones track, and had it repeat in a loop so all of the processors tested in this series would be having the same visual patterns displayed.
