Many faked reviews, lies, etc (and there's proof, you just need to know where to look). He even shows a P4-2.53GHz beating a 3200+/2.2ghz XP in Quake3, which is absolutely beyond ridiculous. With no crippling of the Athlon's bios and both systems running identical everything (except motherboard & cpu of course) here are the "real" Quake3 results I ran when I tested a P4 a short time ago. Quake3 v1.31 Demo 'four' AthlonXP 2500MHz/200fsb - 412.4fps AthlonXP 2400MHz/200fsb - 405.8 AthlonXP 2300MHz/200fsb - 398.2 AthlonXP 2200MHz/200fsb - 391.1 (XP3200+ speed, but with 256K L2 instead of 512) AthlonXP 2100MHz/200fsb - 381.8 AthlonXP 2000MHz/200fsb - 373.4 AthlonXP 2800+(2250MHz)/166fsb - 360.1fps AthlonXP 2700+(2166MHz)/166fsb - 355.5 Pentium 4 3320MHz/175fsb - 350.9fps AthlonXP 2600+(2083MHz)/166fsb - 348.5 AthlonXP 2600+(2133MHz)/133fsb - 311.6 AthlonXP 2400+(2000MHz)/133fsb - 303.8 AthlonXP 2200+(1800MHz)/133fsb - 289.7 AthlonXP 2100+(1733MHz)/133fsb - 285.5 Pentium 4 2533MHz/133fsb - 284.7 The same holds true in other applications as well.
