I came by this interesting thing called SuperPI, you download it (its small) and it times how long it takes for your computer to calculate Pi to a certain number of decimals.
Here's link:

I dont know if this is old or not, but it'd be interesting to see the times out there.
I calculated pi to 2 million decimals on my laptop, took *43* [edit] seconds.

Whats YOUR time?

Took me 18sec to calculate 1M decimals (not using the techpowerup one). I got Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz), shouldnt quad core be faster?

1 core, i see, and cookie.banana, there was this girl in the grade below me, back at hi skool, who could recite pi to about 100 decimals, which is indeed quite nerdy and pointless.
We called her pi girl.

Is that QX9650 at stock 3Ghz? If yes, that's a waste of a QX CPU.
