Barton Blues
Hi
Computers are my hobby and all hobby's are are a mild form of insanity but it gives me pleasure. There is always some inadequate little prat who has to butt in now and again. Paul "The TweakOholic" wrote in message able.rogers.com... Proving once again that it's not the CPU that's the slowest component in a PC.... ------------------------- Just another Democratic Slave NO more Corporate Government Paul Lower wrote in message ... Hi I've just put a XP2500+ in my Nforce 2 mobo and I am underwhelmed by the performance difference from the 2200+ chip I have relegated to my spare machine. I thought that by increasing the cache and putting the FSB up to 166MHz would make a significant difference to the performance. The Sandra benchmarks are all but identical to the 2200+ and the 3DMark scores are about 5% up. AMD seem to be hyping up their chip ratings without making much progress in real terms. Paul. |

He wasn't trying to be rude, he was being serious. Typically the most upgradeable aspect of a computer is either the video card or the memory quantity. The processor, while being the most hyped aspect of a computer, is not the main bottleneck of a typical computer. |
