OT Hi Scrumbia, rather than spend capital for military equipment to generate economic growth, why not spend capital for hightech equipment? Why do bridges and military expenses seem to be favored over the humane high-tech, as a venue? theinquirer.net Why not do something creative and innovative, like establishing tax incentives for startups and VCs to generate economic growth, rather than paving the same road over again? Regards, Amy J

Scumbria, >Remember last week when you were trashing Bert McComas? Looks like you lose again: P4 1700: Clock speed throttling back under heavy load severely affects Quake 3! Anand says no to that: The Pentium 4 1.7GHz on-die thermal diode provided temperature readings close to that of our Athlon 1.33GHz. However, as you will know, the Athlon does not have an on-die thermistor to provide truly accurate core temperature readings but what we can conclude from this is that the Pentium 4 at 1.7GHz is running cooler than the Athlon at 1.33GHz since the latter has a nearly equivalent temperature measured outside of the core which is relatively cool compared to the on-die temperature. During our tests the Pentium 4 1.7GHz always operated at 1.7GHz and did not fall victim to any clock throttling because of heat. You shouldn’t worry about the Pentium 4 dropping its clock speed because of heat unless you are running the processor without a heatsink/fan installed.

Scumbria, I don't see any evidence of clock throttling in the article you posted. Obviously it only affected one game at one resolution. Had the processor been clock-throttled, it would have affected all applications, and the problem would have gone away by opening the case, installing a beefier heatsink, etc. But thank you for proving that you will believe almost anything an AMDroid says in your quest to trash Pentium 4.
