I'm not worried about whether anything is changed so much as the appearance of it being biased against older hardware = A huge drop in points. We never worried about Globals as you guys know already and simply worked our tails off to get what we have/had and to see it all go "Poof" hurts and you gotta say ouch at some point.

I'm not too worried about it all though and waiting to see what happens next. I did get some global points out of the deal but lost almost half of my total points regardless. That's the thing we're griping about the most.
How would you like to see half of everything you earned lost?

Kal, I understand where you are coming from and agree with your points about "Who cares what rabbit you're chasing?"

Run it down and kill it is the way I go about benching no matter what I'm running. Who would have thought a lowly Asus A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 MB could push a Socket A past 2.8GHz? I did it by being persistent and continuing the chase, proving it could be done - Best of all, the board has no mods applied. Competed with other big-boards with similar CPU's and did well inspite of the handicap I have when using it.
I'm not about to throw in the towel guys. In fact this is like a gauntlet being thrown down to me.
