Can anyone explain to me what it means when your puter has it. Oh I know the dictionary answer... the best math....but does it mean your host ran more efficiently? more accurately? Because fastest is not always canonical... could that be from overclocking? over and aside from just a faster processor

Canonical Results

It's the most accurate result.

Of course, I'm still a little in the dark as to how they determine which is the most accurate...

It is not the most accurate. It is the one that is chosen as the representative example of the results in the quorum of results. The choice is part of the evaluation of the results returned and, at least in theory, will be the "best" of the fit.

Nice to know that my celeron D330 running WINE represented as WIN98SE on SuSE 9.2 Linux is selected mostly as canonical in the results returned. ;-)

John,
