    Can we never escape the fanboi bias?

    How you can be so enthusiastic about a bloody "Philips" screw is beyond belief when everybody knows that the king of screws is the slot variety.

    No true screw officianado would use anything but a screw that required a flathead screwdriver. We hardcore screwers live for the thrill of screwing & laugh at the risk of a flathead screwdriver slipping.
    Only wimps, with no courage, would stoop to using a crosshead screw

    You should be ashamed to even be associated with a crosshead screw.

    nah as a slothead screw needs only a coin to undo, whereas the more specialised screwers use their more advanced tools to get the job done properly.

    Any self-respected geek would realise that the extra slot making it a + instead of a - increases the surface area of the core and allows more heat dissipation thus allowing for higher overclocks

    Of course, the problem with that test was that you weren't comapring like with like. Any fool knows that a PhilIP s slotted screw is a networking device which has its own unique IP number.

    Now if you had tested this against gigabit LAN your graph would have looked different though one similarity would remain, the screw performance would remain a flat line at the bottom... - but you shouldn't criticise it for consistency!

    Ahhhhhh, the finest Hexus review yet. I have not come across anything in my own, sporradic reviewing career that could contradict what was presented here.

    Oh yeah, and excellent visuals.

    VIVA!
