412978	2005-12-15 18:29:00	Hmm, it thinks my work PC has 1GB Ram when its actually only got 512MB.. and wait, it also thinks this thing has an athlon CPU rather than a pentium p4. Maybe it's just a little bit buggered.	pixeldust (6619)
412979	2005-12-15 18:56:00	OK . . got a few notes here about this last scanner that everyone's trying to debunk: I ran the test and it for the most part is correct . . . but you gotta see what it sees to understand . . . . I see it ONLY notes my OPSYS drive and leaves the 4/200g RAID 0+1's out of the scan, and also the 4/200g JBODS too . It only sees the 40g OS drive . It got the mobo on-board vid device, not the add-on that I use . . . . It only saw one of the DVD burner/roms and not my cd-burner/rom either, just the boot drive, 2nd choice in BIOS . . . . . . but the thing that worries me is that I am in the upper 2% of puters that are not even in my league . . I do not have a gamer's puter at all . . I don't even compete there and I cannot see me being that high in the results . . . . Makes one wonder if the display ever changes or it is stuck on this result! I smell dead fish! . :lol:	SurferJoe46 (51)
412980	2005-12-15 19:20:00	Did you mean you ran this test ( . live . com/site/en-US/default . htm" target="_blank">safety . live . com)? You mean the one that says this when I ryun it?? "Whoops . The scanner doesn’t work with your Web browser or operating system . " Win 2K and Opera	paulw (1826)

412982	2005-12-15 19:55:00	I'm half blind, can't hear, take pills making me dizzy, winded, and blackout; bad circulation; can't remember my age, lost all my friends. But.....Thank God, I still have my driver's license. The above also fits me. I would add. Thank BOB I still have my computer. In the top 2% too. :rolleyes:	JJJJJ (528)
412983	2005-12-15 20:27:00	Well that site doesnt know the diff between AMD and P4, 128 or 256 mb video ram, an ATI or Nvidia videocard, 32 or 64 bit, or the amount of space left on a hdd lol. It says I've got 40gb left, I've got over 140gb spare. The only thing that it got right is XP, and the amount of ram. It shows exactly the same as what Jack just posted in his link lol Its most probably a jpeg or whatever thats linked to that site, why my results are the same as Jacksme too - I got exactly the same results - wrong video card, wrong RAM, wrong processsor...

412984	2005-12-16 00:45:00	So they probably use an Excel spreadsheet to work it out . Something like 90% of Excel spreadsheets have serious errors in them whenever soemone does an audit . Some people trust the numbers they get from computers . :)	Graham L (2)
412985	2005-12-16 04:31:00	Internet Explorer 6 required Windows XP Game Advisor requires the use of the Windows 98/ME/2000/XP operating system and the Internet Explorer 6 browser. O dear, this game seems to need windows to play...... :p	personthingy (1670)
412986	2005-12-16 15:17:00	Just ran the test on the microsoft com. page. It reported that my computer is in the top 2% of machines they have ever tested. Perhaps no one has done their test in the past five years. Lol it also said i was in the top 2%.This computer has 1gb ram but the website says 2.2gb.Its running a 9800 pro ati graphics card and it says ati radeon x800. Very inaccurate	Ninjabear (2948)
