Granite bay + P4 vs Nforce2 + Athlon

[ReDeeMeR]

There's some benchies here (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,805718,00.asp) :)

Interesting, they used 512MB Samsung PC1066 RDRAM on Intel D850EMV2, Intel 850E chipset and Granite bay with normal DDR usualy surpases it, P4 users should definately take a look. RDRAM = waste? :eek:

And last:

Board Abit

Pro Clean, many audio ports,
GeForceFX capable

WTF, means other mb's arent or wtf?!? :confused:

[gokickrocks]

it just means that abit left a gap between the agp and pci slot to allow for the space of the gf fx's fx flow...

rgr, thx :)

Definitely interesting. I skimmed through this earlier today.

You'll notice that the P4 does pretty well in these tests. What would be interesting is a comparison between say a 2600+ and a 2.53 or some other combos. Who really cares about 3GHz anyway? The damn thing costs almost $600!

Well take into acount that 2,5ghz is 500mhz slower then 3Ghz and 2600+ is only around 50mhz slower then 2700+ Altho yeah I'd interested in some benchies, I'm positive that 2600+ would beat 2,5Ghz flat out though, because even the PR rating is higher.

I'd be interested in benchmarks as well because I don't want to take anyone's word for it. I'm sure you understand... I remains skeptical that the 2600+ is anything but a tiny bit faster than that 2.53.

lmao yeah ok believe what you want. How about you do a cpu benchmark on SiSoftware Sandra 2002 Professional and post here?
