Oh...just tried out Sandra on my system
SPANK!
my 1.33ghz just kicked the 1.5 P4 system around.
I surpassed the P4 score in the multimedia and the cpu benchmark by 400 and 200 points respectively
of course, I lost out in the memory benchmark.
but DAMN
btw
I got it to go to 8104 if I turned off everything in my startup.
I'm proud of my box

now it reaches 110 at full load, and is at 104 at idle
I dont usually run my 120s though..
Oh, and Brian? thanks for the compliment. I genuinely don't want to come off like that guy did
I know Ronin has a faster machine than I. I know if I wanted to spend thousands of dollars, I could get soemthing a hell of a lot faster than what I have.
I like my system. I want ot show it off and get some credit for the hard work I put into it.
But I know that many others work hard on their computers, and they deserve as much credit as someone wiht a new system.
A Celeron 300a@450 these days is practically nothing.
But back a couple years ago, that was a hell of a system.
Just because systems grow faster, doesn't mean the work put into them becomes less meaningful.
