My Mini 10v running OSX 10.5.8 (NetbookInstaller .8.2 RC4) with 1Gb RAM and a 160Gb HDD (not SSD) gets a GeekBench of about 953 when running Firefox (84MB RAM), Dropbox (41MB) and Preview (23MB).

Click the score above, I made it link to my Geekbench score I submitted

Not bad... not in the 900s, but much better than before.

Why don't you just post the link to your submitted scores instead of posting a screenshot every time. When you post a link to your score it gives much more detailed info and it may help clear up why this is happening.

*EDIT* : are you running other processes (memory and CPU consuming) in the background. Maybe open up Activity Monitor and let us know if you are running any intensive tasks.

It just seems your Processor and Memory performance is lacking.

OK thanks,

This is with everything off firefox / aduim but i left running grabup which auto uploads screen shots which takes about 10mb of ram. i also have 10.5.8 if that helps.

Here is my new score Hackintosh : Geekbench Result Browser

Odd.. even with 1GB less ram I have you beat in memory performance about 350 points.. and in bandwidth performance over 400.

We are close in processor integer, and I beat you by 275 in floating point..

Maybe try a ram check?

I also find it odd that you register as 2 cores where I register as one.. (I am at 10.5.7 still though)

I was going to recommend something similar. Try running benchmarks with different RAM. Sometimes RAM can bork things up really fast
