I't doesn't matter either way for the 2 points I have now, I Have gained alot of knowledge about my bios setting and benchmarks on air. I think you crawl before you walk I understand most people on dice/water/ln2 decimate my scores on air But that hardware is useless without knowing what your doing. I know in time I will be on my game and have my rig busting points out the ass. hopefully... LOL

+1 also to that.

The overall point is of course to just have fun. We each have different ways/approaches to how we want to go about it and that's OK. Main thing regardless of all else is to bench, post up and Enjoy the competiton.

I can go with that.

BTW Rom, does that Wardodo of yours need a tow?
Have tractor, be happy to tow it for you.....

That's what it's all about really. Just having a good time, learning from one another and making new friends along the way........................that's the real reward.

Oh yah.

Personally I have found no use for what I have learned, but someday... someday when the space shuttle is orbiting a giant space rock and my Dad calls up and says, we just cant get our computers to crank out the formulas to handle the permutation of debris orbits should we detonate this nuke...

Gimmie 100000 liters of LN2, 2 miles of copper piping, 1000 apogge waterblocks, 1 ton of kneaded eraser, 8 tons of armaflex and one catapillar (worm) drive for pumping the LN2

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I have always felt a 4870x2 should have been submitted as 2 x4870 and it made no sense to me that if you ran a 4870x2 and a 4870 for tri-fire it had to be submitted as 2x4870x2's. HWBOT should fix what they have in the rules before making changes like this. I may have misunderstood what the global points was for but I thought it was to show the most powerful systems for a given benchmark.
The 2D apps submissions shouuld also be reviewed if they make this change. Try getting to the top of Wprime 1024 without having access to a $100,000 dollar set up at your disposal to play with. If there were more multithreaded 2D apps at the bot I am sure we would be having the same complaints about the way the cpu's are listed 1core vs 2 core vs 4core and so on.

As we all know this is no dofferent than anything else in life. The more you spend to build or buy something the better performance you will get out of it.

just my .02

WEll that depends. On da bong I take AMD. More mega hurts never hurts. Considering my 900 MHz (now) quad core AMD plays games, videos, IM and surfs at the same time, I take AMD.

For bointing I take i7. Which gets run once in while. It's a fun rig, and SO much faster than socket 775. I would not use it as a 24/7 setup though.
