No it does not, I do not have Hiarcs7 so I cannot tell, but I do have 2 PII
450's and would like to play them against each other.

So basically what you are saying is that these games a freud games and made up,
or that they are played either with wrong settings or the hardware setup is
wrong. Very interesting so if this person is one of the main testers for the
SSDF which I am not sure that is is or is not. Then you might have to assume
that some other programs results were maybe incorrect. And that there is no
policing of the games on the SSDF I might have to assume that the results for
allot of the games might be misleading or wrong.

That is why I say the SSDF is rubbish as it is now, and so too is the ranking of
Hiarcs7, it surprised everyone that it made number one. And so it should there
are much better programs out there and for quarter the price. Pretty sad
actually.
IMHO that is

what is also funny is that since it topped the SSDF, everyone get a little
shocked if it losses to another program. You guys just love jumping on the band
wagon when something is on top, where were all these great predictions before
the ratings came out.

So least I always state that CM6K is one of the best. Lets see if it makes
number one what all you guys say then. A few would get tiffed off and stick in
what is wrong with it in whatever way and few would jump on the band wagon
saying that it is the best.

Its always they same
