KZnerd,

Sorry for the poor explanation.

I am sure Dell ran the tests and so they were real in that sense.

However we have seen before that early non-production stuff can skew benchmarks.

These numbers seem to be so far off that they are unbelievable.

In fact one would have expected an uproar if these were accepted as represntative of real world performance.

Clearly somehthing is wrong and it just may be a driver issue.

Remember some of those early Athlon benchmarks?

regards,

Kash
