Elmer - RE: "You look at marketing foils which show no scores, no system configurations and even refer to the competition's placing as only AMD's own estimates and you are convinced of their authenticity and validity." Since Dirk's dinner comparisons were accurate, I have every reason to believe AMD's comparisons for the AThlon 700, 750, and PIII 700. Like you said, the 733 scores aren't valid because AMD didn't test that processor. "At the same time you look at actual benchmarks published by their respective manufacturers providing real numbers, real system configurations including memory size, cache size, graphics cards, video memory size, video driver rev number, disk drive and controller, operating system version and service pack number, CRDOM manufacturer, sound card manufacturer, network card manufacturer etc etc.... and you reject these as being inconclusive, too vague and having too many variables." Then please explain Tom's, Anand's, and Sharky's results in which the ONLY variables at 700MHz are different MB and processor. sharkyextreme.com www6.tomshardware.com anandtech.com "You are a real benchmarking genius Cringe." I'm merely looking at tests with the fewest variables. If you were examine a project, wouldn't you choose the one with the fewest variables? "You live in your universe and I'll live in mine." I think we have proven that many times in the past.
