I got an e-mail tonite. From Intel. That's a first........ Perhaps there are eyes on us everywhere! It was from a "Systems Engineer", telling me how to setup a 2.53Ghz machine *correctly* and that I should have no problems "..beating any AMD CPU on the market, overclocked or not, running any "optimized" program.." I checked the e-mail, it's valid. He stated that he would "..appreciate my cooperation in keeping his name, and this e-mail, as quiet as possbible.." Well, I guess this is as quiet as I can keep it. ;) Aaron, he told me they were hitting 300+ fps with the setup he described to me in the e-mail, using a GeForce3 Ti500. He told me using a GeForce4 Ti4600 or the Quatro4 would probably net gains near 30+ fps. You getting anywhere near this number? He also told me that P4's have always been geared towards multimedia. And that it didn't hurt his feelings that AMDs were beating the P4s in "chess applications". He stated, and I quote, "If AMDs audience is those who require good numbers running their chess applications, well, that's good news for Intel." I have no doubts this guy is for real. And I will setup this system as he has "instructed". Whoever turned me in, thanks! ;) To quote a movie, "We now have corporate sponsorship." :D
