the software industry isn't giving us anything neat right now... so there's not much point to the hardware...

and with microsoft's new security, no one will care to upgrade.. so the hardware won't blah blah continuing circle

Good, my system is still among the top performers

Quake 3 results: 364 fps vs. 14

it's pretty interesting, but yeah, we need new developments, stifled by MS..bah

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Didn't know XP could be installed on a 100mhz PC.

 

[EvilYoda]

lol, that's great...toooooootal waste of time, but still great

 

[BillGates]

That's actually kind of interesting to see how much of an improvement you could expect when upgrading your PC. I like that test a lot!

XP kills my K6-2/500 How the hell can you do benchmarks on it? it takes like 45 seconds to pull up the start menu.

That's why they spent 300 hours on it.

Its a XP only benchmark.

I tried putting it on a 166mmx machine once...it was like the PC had the Klez Virus

 

[FrustratedUser]

Interesting.
I've een looking for something like this.

OMG these processors look like a pile of junk that they are.
