And heck, there's people out there still benching like crazy using 3dmark 2001 SE... watercooling socket A rigs, getting em to some crazy high clockspeeds, and using some cool vintage GPUs. ... fun stuff, IMO.
I mean, if I could, I'd love to peltier cool a socket A setup, maybe an Athlon MP board.. get the cpu(s) running @ 3ghz, and re-fit an early DDR2 vidcard (5800 Ultra?) with newer RAM, and manually mod the BIOS... ...THAT would be cool. ... and then slap a 3850 AGP in there and see how it runs Crysis.  |
I'm a bit curious as to how a 3Ghz Athlon XP would compare to a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo.
I imagine the core 2 would probably be 2 or 3 times as fast, but it'd still be interesting. Also, no 64bit means no 4Gb of memory.
