"R(mhz) rating/log(mhz)/100. Shows the performance of an account,
taking into consideration the cpu speed."
First of all Will is taking into account for his formula a logaritme,
combines that with rating and computer Mhz.
This assumes a logarithmic connection between Mhz of a machine and its
rating.
Obviously this is wrong.
Let's take crafty:
Wild 2148 [6] 195 50 8 253 2148 (06-Aug-1999)
Bullet 3033 6241 1412 1018 8671 3191 (27-Oct-1999)
Blitz 2858 48312 12919 8716 69947 3268 (27-Oct-1999)
Standard 2550 3761 1496 1117 6374 2785 (08-Aug-1999)
Machine = 4x400 = 1600Mhz
rating = 2550
So this would make
R(mhz) = 25.50 / log(1600) = 7.95
Now that sounds a bit low to me personal already.
Let's now assume that Bob wants to top the green list:
He needs 11.0 then as R(Mhz) to top it more or less.
So 11.0 = rating / 100*log(1600)
rating = 11 * 100 * log(1600) = 3525
So crafty needs an incredible rating of 3525 to top the greenlist.
Good luck Bob!
Why invent a formula if it's in advance already dead wrong?
Rating is not based upon the 10th log of something.
It SURE does not represent performance taking into account
the machine speed.
