The test will be worthless as you have no control over the conditions. "Oh I ran the test while compressing an MP3 album and defragging my hard drive"So what? If you don't want to take part, then don't. The guys at those review places have to do something to test those machines, so why shouldn't I? Even if it's not accurate, it'll still be interesting to see the results.

Anyhow, the Motherboard choice is a bigger desicion, no use bolting a lightning fast chip onto a knee-capped board.

A much bigger range than you will get and a lot more different benchmark programs.

430550 2006-02-16 03:37:00 You made your own program to calculate the PI? Why not just use SuperPI? E|im (87)
