bah, it was worth a try...

damn you with your blue line!

Hey now #59... \"everyone\" includes pokey, and I know you don\'t want me and the space ninja brigade after you...

52: Absolutely. Isn\'t there something different about the new ones though, like the cache or something? (I dunno, I haven\'t been keeping up since I\'m not looking to buy)

A .18 P3 isn\'t any better clock for clock, save for the fact that it makes less heat and that may help overall performance a bit, but a clock is a clock. Smaller processes just let you have more of \'em.

Oh, and when he leaves it usually goes with him too. It\'s just like this cloud of acidic vapor that surrounds him and turns things black as he walks by.

Then of course while he\'s gone I let anybody come in here and smoke who wants to, just in case there are any residual pockets...

Whoa, I just read the Suck. sTeve man, I\'ll tell you right now there is no way that anybody smells worse than MY roommate. On a bad day I can tell if he\'s here before I even unlock the door. (and yes he sits in here with the door shut and any fans off so that he can fester and cause the paint to peel off the walls) I will be sitting here, he will come in, and my eyes will start BURNING. It\'s not just that though... It gets out of our room and fills up the hall and makes it\'s way into other rooms, then for some reason the other people like to tell ME about HIS stank going all over the place.

Anyway that\'s my quick Suck for now.. I hope it was good for ya baybeh

great. I have no doubt that Anand knows his shit about hardware. Of all the reviewers I\'d have to trust his the most, my point is that these sites might be distracted by whatever else is beyond their control. Are they setting up true labs and double checking their results? And just because one knows Hardware doesn\'t make him/her a good reviewer, statistician, or writer. Just look at Tom Pabst, a joke of a benchmarker who obviously wants Intel to eat his Euro schlong and can\'t take criticism if his life depended on it. I can\'t take anything Tom says with any respect anymore after that whole Q3test timedemo fiasco...
Don\'t believe everything you read. My prediction is the benchmarks we see today will be turned upside down once Q3 is released until the Graphic card companies rewrite their drivers... Just a waste of time to be benching tests right now...

You\'re right #41... I figured it out. I turned my mousepad upside down, and it works perfectly now. Try using a mousepad with a patterned texture, an Everglide surface (www.everglide.com)or a glass table, all of which I have, and the damn thing skips all over the place. Still doesn\'t explain why it took out my USB CDRW though.

Women who are \"obesessed\" with their boyfriends need to be rounded up and put to work in swett shops crafting handmade bullets to be used in their executions. Pages like that just go to show ya why \"chicks suck\"

Anand is one of the best, most impartial benchmarkers out there. When it comes to hardware, he\'s forgotten more than you know. Trust his stuff.

}rSMEAT WILL DO THAT TO YOU

God damn I hate this Intellimouse bullshit! It skips all over the fucking place, fucked up my other USB devices, and I am supporting a Microsoft conglomerate! Damned if I will listen to you reviewers again! You\'ll hear from me yet again!

#30.

They do the benchmarks at 640*480 to make sure the tests reflect
the speed of the CPU and not the gfx card. If you up the res enough
all the CPUs will converge to about the same performance because the
bottleneck of the system is the fill-rate of the 3d card.

By lowering the res (and using a T&L card) they are getting an idea
of how well the CPU does with all the AI/physics, as opposed to how
well it does T&L/rendering which will both be handled in dedicated
hardware by most upcoming 3d cards.

I\'m not surprised the P3 is a tad faster...they\'re using an AGP 4x board and RAMBUS, against a system with PC100 and AGP 2x. I would guess that the Athlon 700 would take up the lead again with PC133 RAM and an AGP 4x slot. If AMD would only hurry their asses and put out a new motherboard chipset that support those...

#30

yo dumb dumb, 640x480 best measures the cpu...anything over that starts measuring video card performamnce. Whats it like being stoopid?

#20...

i dont know whats scarier, the fact that these people exist, or that they are so stupid they needed to create an FAQ
