What you do is download the following from the super computing center:
ftp://pi.super-computing.org/windows/super_pi.zip
Close all other applications, then run it.
It calculates Pi to as many digits you want.
Most modern desktops could do about 2 million digits (2M) in about 1-1.5 minutes. Modern laptops should be around 1.5-2.5 minutes from results I have seen.
I'll go first:
Dell Inspiron 7500
256 MB of RAM
Pentium 3
It took 8:39 to compute 2M digits of Pi.
Its a 5 year old laptop thats holding on with a thread.
