mickey, i simply refused to be impressed by that until you hit 30s super pi, till then you suck
You aren't uk based are ya? What kinda place do you get dry ice at, i wouldn't mind messing with it but, don't really know where you'd get it, especially around here. dual vapo should get me some nice scores with 3400+ though.
PS, for people thinking about ath 64 or prescott systems. UNtil grantsdale hits i've jsut found that the ath 64 setup, the subsystems, agp system works much more smoothly and for gaming, pr on canterwood, right now, simply doesn't seem to compete. With a 3.2EE you'd get closer, but i don't really know, in most game benchmarks the 3400+ can beat it, just a couple like 3dmark 2k1 where teh EE really excels. For none gaming specific rigs the choice is harder, but there are other major considerations, like 64 bit computing opens up a bunch more sse2 registers so should get more than an abnormal boost, and even more for say an encoding app with sse2 support writen in 64 bit.
I think the prescott will need to clock really quite stupidly high to be able to really be good competition, but again, i guess we'll see. The grantsdale won't IMOH offer any better clock for clock performance in cpu benchmarks, but overall subsystems work better in newer chipsets, so it might boost performance. But i think the chipset of the ath 64 systems is less influencial than the very good onboard mem controller, which can't be matched right now.
Have intel got plans for onboard mem controller anytime , tejas would be first chance i assume which will be end of year. Thats a long time i that i can't see intel being able to provide the better gaming rig.
Also, mickey, much condensation?
