Lol, big difference.. and that's why I use Firefox.

Enzedder:


CPU: Intel CORE 2 Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4890
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 RAM

Windows 7 if anyone is interested.

Don't use any other browsers. Was considering updating to the 10.50 Beta. Looking at these tests I just might as long as no big problems.

DaggerLite:
For the one using Opera 10.10, I recommend upgrading(?) to 10.50 beta. It's a massive improvement, and I haven't really encountered any fatal bugs in it (yet). I came across this test on "A new era of browser speed" if you want to see a few other JS tests. Obviously slightly biased towards Opera, but I don't think unjustifiably so.

This is a JavaScript benchmark, yes, but one that tests common methods that you'll see around the web. While it brings your browser to its limits of what you'll actually see in terms of complexity, it still provides a score of how fast it is compared to others. It is a good benchmark in my opinion, even though it doesn't test W3C conforms and such. There are other tests for that (I could've linked a dozen, but I thought this one was the coolest).

Acid effectively kills systems that don't pass it afaik (or at least fairly often).

It has been dead, and they replaced it with the exact same motherboard. ;p *waits for it to go again*

nstgc:
I reran the test in Windows 7. I ran it for IE (which ever version comes with 7) FF 3.6 and Chrome (what ever version is in the image below). IE did terribly. It was super slow. I ended up having to close out.




Again this is using a Phenom II 945 (at stock), 4 GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, an GeForce 9600 GT, in Windows 7.

[edit] Oh yeah, both operating systems are 64-bit versions.

DaggerLite:
After I wrote my previous reply, I went over and did the Acid3 test. I first did it with my usual stuff open, and later on with everything closed but one browser and the one tab used to test. None of the browsers have any "addons" or modification except Opera, since that's what I use. I kept only the best result from each.

And the result...



Test notes: I had a few cases where Chrome stopped before reaching 100/100, spewing up 2 errors, but only for a few attempts. With Firefox, it sometimes got an error less (kungFuDeathGrip). Both Firefox and IE always failed. Opera didn't fail once, but sometimes stopped on page request (not part of the "test", probably a beta bug). I ran approx thirty tests with each browser, except IE which only got six chances.

You can try these too if you want, however these results are far less interesting to compare, as they will turn up just about the same each time.
