Kuala Paulur, "And like typical dorks, your AMDroid bretheren tajke your lies and pile their own lies on top of them - without ever verifiying what I said about Serverworks." One of the more interesting hits I got re tajke: nisd.net

Mr Engel, another personal attack from you is to be expected. I noted that you were "heavily criticizing Serverwork's P3 SMP chipset." I said that because Anand wrote a very positive review of the chipset but you stated that Intel's i840 was better anyway. I repeat Anand's conclusion so that the thread can judge for themselves: Without a doubt this is definitely one of the most interesting chipsets we have seen in a while and it does get the job done. The majority of the performance tests were won by the ServerSet III HEsl with less theoretical bandwidth than the i840 chipset and while using regular PC133 SDRAM in comparison to the Pro 266's DDR SDRAM [and i840's dual channel RDRAM]. That is really the reason for the beauty of the chipset, the fact that it can offer such high performance while still using conventional PC133 SDRAM. www1.anandtech.com In fact, if you look at the details, the Serverworks HEsI beat the i840 in 11 of 16 benchmarks, and three of the losses were in light-loading and synthetic memory access benchmarks. In real workstation applications like Photoshop, HEsI beat i840 senseless. So it is not a "lie" to refer to your characterization, that i840 as "extremely competitve" with HEsI, as being "heavy criticism." Since your conclusion was exactly opposite to Anand's, I could have used words like "biased criticism" instead of "heavy criticism," and my characterization would have been accurate and truthful. Please refrain from personal attacks in the future. Petz
