dumbmoney,

It just proves that you can write an artificial benchmark that stresses the memory by using AGP texturing and heavy CPU access at the same time.

Or it proves that you can start to write real applications that stress the memory by using AGP texturing and heavy CPU access at the same time. Time will tell.

Dumbmoney, <It just proves that you can write an artificial benchmark that stresses the memory by using AGP texturing and heavy CPU access at the same time.>

Or it's an attempt by Intel to predict what kind of bandwidth requirements future games and applications will have. Of course, that's not going to satisfy the naysayers, as you have already demonstrated.
