3.5 Ghz P4...

hrm.. i find that impressive either way.. not from a computing aspect... but from a technical aspect

<< a 3d mark score of 10600 is impressive any way you look at it, if it got a score it was stable enough to deal being clocked to that speed and they are using a fast hard drive and a fast video card.


dont be a poor sport cause they dont run AMD on Mandrake. >>

What's so impressive about a 3dmark score of 10600? What purpose does it serve? And why should I care what CPU and OS they use? Now you're just making an ass of yourself. I was merely pointing out that there is no point in the whole "OH, I OCed to X GHz...".

At least some people can acknowledge that and accept it. It's my opinion.

God man.....there's NOTHING "impressive" about the score itself, but, the fact that they reached that requency and were stable enough to run 3DMark IS impressive! If it makes you any happier.........there are all sorts of sites which also B/M Hard Drives, Video cards, Memory, Etc., Etc.! It's no more, or no less impressive than any of them, but, it is an acheivement nobody else had accomplished and in this field, that has always turned heads! Applaud the fact that the proccessor itself was capable of reaching that frequency and boot into Windows and run 3Dmark if nothing else........ >>

Nah, if the cpu had reached that with very little extra cooling, that'd be impressive. If they did something USEFUL with the 3.5GHz, it might be impressive. Sorry if benchmarks don't exactly "impress" me too much...

ok lets talk about instruction sets?!?! Architechture? Mhz aint everything boys....Oh yea, and remember when the Intel ounks keot naggin about how we had
to have all this "special" cooling for the Athlons? Seen a 478 heatsink lately? Looks and feels like a brick of aluminum.

Well, I agree, the P4 H/S is big, but, it has a quiet fan and to be honest, the 2.2 in my sig runs cooler than any chip I've had in this case since my 700Mhz!

who cares about archechture when the chip is running TWICE as fast as an XP 2000?

I do since Intel's faster CPU is only at 800 mhz. Sure it is a 64 bit CPU but it is faster than the P-IV 2.2 because of it's architecture.

3.5GHz? Bah! Try 3.675GHz!

Why overclock that high? Even for a shot period of time? Because you can.

Holy crap. :Q How the hell did the condensation not kill the motherboard?
