Look at the benchmarks for nv5900 and 9800 etc.
Why do they keep changing platforms, one is done with the a p4 on rdram system, the bext is done on a midrange amd system.
you either do all your benchs on the one system or you do all for both systems....This smells of selective benchmark loading.
And to cap it of the amd 3200+ review
AMD recomend changing a dll in sys mark, as I remeber that is simply to enable sse, but they refuse..okay so disable sse on the p4 as well!!!
Also AMD recomends turning of apic, they refuse. I did not know about that one but I am certainly going to try it on my system at home if AMD recomend it for performance...some of this is boarding on fraud FFS
They will use a p4 sse optimsed xmpeg stuff at a drop of a hat but will not change a bios setting or enable a feature for an AMD cpu?
