    Benchmarking: The Money Game

    OK, here is where I piss off readers, other publications and even manufacturers. I believe that there are way too many hardware publications and authors that just don't get it. They don't get it because their readers either don't get it either. And they don't care because the manufacturers reward them for not getting it. There are certainly a few publications that do get it, and there are some readers that do as well, but the vast majority do not, in my opinion.


    Found this over at http://www.amdzone.com
