Slate. I was only 'hostile' due to poor testing methods. When you start comparing things that aren't comparable (for example, P4-SSE2 FPU vs AthlonXP straight fpu, no SSE/3DNow) then you are providing deceiving results. Would it be fair for me to compare a K6-2/300MHz's FPU using 3DNow! to a Pentium3 500 w/o SSE? For you.. maybe. I would never do such a thing however. It misleads people who don't know any better and is downright bad testing. The same goes for Quake3. You and I both know a Tbird 800MHz on a good board providing proper memory bandwidth can get more fps than 139. The same thing goes for encoding/decoding. Without a good motherboard the CPU or anything else can't do much good unless the benchmark/test is 100% cpu biased. Encoding/decoding gets a nice boost from faster memory. Whats bad about it is the 'good' boards I am talking about are only $80-100. Why not grab one and retest? I can call you and tell how what to setup in the bios, which via 4in1's to use, which detonator drivers to use & etc. Then you will see a monster come alive..
