Go up one level in this thread


I'm both a Quaker and a chess man (plus a 3d renderer, webmaster, musician), so
this board fit both priorities well. the AGP 8X along with my Radeon 9700 Pro
get some MASSIVE framerates in all games.

but that's a bit off-topic for this forum, and actually offtopic for discussions
on smp systems since 90% of the 3d games are not smp capable, (id software's
highly respected John Carmack said that his testing of SMP in the Quake's
yielded an improvement in speed too low to warrant the time to implement in 3d
engines), this means that most dual board reviews only rarely bench them with
games.

Here's the link to the 2cpu.com e7505 roundup:
