Pete, as you no doubt know, AMD is ashamed of their benchmark scores and therefore use unavailable motherboards, unavailable versions of DirectX and unavailable versions of the graphics card drivers in a desperate attempt to boost their scores to acceptable levels. This is understandable considering their claims of 7th generation technology fell flat when Intel's old 6th generation CuMine easily beat them in virtually all benchmarks. When coming out with an enhanced version of the Athlon, TTurd, AMD was under the gun to show benchmark improvements, thus the cheating with the aforementioned unavailable hardware and software. It truly must be a shock when Intel's CuMine/i815 processor/chipset honest benchmarks pull even with AMD's phoney benchmarks. Well, it's understandable. The TTurd has a rather backward cache design. The claims of "fullspeed" hardly tell the true story when you consider that the 64 bit internal "fullspeed" databus needs 4 times the cycles to equal a single 256bit "fullspeed" CuMine cycle. And that much acclaimed copper process that yielded absolutely ZERO speed increase over aluminum. Don't worry... You'll soon see what a real 7th generation processor is really like.....
