Tom, WTF your so stupid!

"In this edition I refrained from adding any other component to the Power Box, such as a sound card, DVD-ROM, CD/RW and more, because the benchmarks in this first Power Box article would not benefit from it."

WTF!! These test were rigged right from the start, Tom is a fucin joke.

Im sure we all dont need sound cards or CD-ROMs. Those benchmarks are effected that much that you had to leave them out to beat the P4??

Was there some kind of incompatability? Did you do the same for the Intel box?

Tom, answer please!

Post nazi freddi, dont delete this thread, change the title of your offended.

I want people to read this thread so I made flaming subject.

At least tell Tom, a thread needs his attention on the forum.

Tom stats that benchmarks did not benifit from it (must have hindered it), I take it that it was a negative effect when installed and he removed them to get better results.

Or there was a compatability problem of some sorts. maybe DMA or some other anomoly was happening.

I havent run the 3dmark 2000 since someone else pointed out the pause on AMD systems. but it may be same problem that tom is trying to work around ATM.

There is a reason why he left those parts out. not like he didnt have a SB live sound card around. BTW how did he load software without a CDROM? Ok, so he loaded software and removed CDROM?

WTG Tom.

Agreed, after seeing fugger post crap for more than a month is enough. I haven't said anything so far but fugger...
your an idiot.

Not really sure how Tom would install without a CD-Rom. I'd imagine he just meant that he didn't bother with a DVD or CD-RW or anything. It probably has a standard CD-ROM. The additional heat provided by a CD-RW wouldn't be all that helpful to the benchmark as the idea behind the Vapochill was to make it as cold as possible (probably a good reason to not use a SCSI drive either). As for the Soundcard, there are a few new contenders, maybe Tom's just waiting to see which he likes the best. Or maybe there is a driver compatibility issue with the AMD 761 and an SBLive! card. I dunno, lots of possibilities. But I really don't think either of those components would have affected the benchmarks. Just because the benchmarks don't benefit from something doesn't automatically mean that those said components hinder the benchmark.

Hey FUGGER, are you saying if I remove the cd-rom and sound card from my celeron 366 computer, it will run as fast as a P4?

I once knew a guy who was a total bone head and remains so to this day(if the rumors are correct).

He replaced the battery in his 1986 corvette and could not believe the extra power his car had. He just would not stop talking about it. He couldn't understand why everyone he told this to started laughing (well those people that know what a battery in a car is used for).

Finally someone told him that all the battery does is supply enough power to turn the engine over(start the car) then its job is done.

Fugger you brought a smile to my face when I read this post. You reminded me of that guy.

I think instead of upgrading your processor next time you should just get a faster rom drive. That should get you blazing through the benchmarks.

LOL * LOL = LOL^2

Are you blind or just stupid? You're asking questions that are answered in the piece of text you quoted! ROFLMAO!

Satan Clara...... 'Nuff said.

just curious....are you implying that this is an AMD forum? The latest official polls show that the P3 is in use more the the Tbirds. Just a something that i noticed.

The last time I tried to use my imagination, I ended up in a straight jacket!
