  1. Excuses, excuses, sorry Alex, it's not that clear and simple at all. It makes it very easy to manufacture screenshots if all the applications don't have to show at the same time.

    Still no pic of the actual rig though, which IS a requirement.;)

    That's even easier to manufacture, just find a pic of one on the internet that you like and submit it. Who'll know?

    I guess I'll just have to face the fact that there will always be a way to beat the system.

    Sorry for wasting everybody's time.

  2. Thank you for the responses gentlemen, and Miss 1day. I do know about the L5 bridge, as that is why a Sempron shows up as a MP on boards that do not officially support Semprons, but that was not my point. The point was that until there is a "fix" for CPU-Z, and that's all anybody uses for identification at the present time, Then that's what should be used to place processors in the proper category, not what somebody "says" the processor is.

    Also, Intentional Misrepresentation = Cheating, but that's not what I'm saying is going on here. I was saying that if you let these submissions slide on somebody's "word", that it opens the gates for unscrupulous people to exploit this and submit false entries that may never be found or challenged. All I want is it to be fair across the board. Sorry I'm using you as an example Sam, but I can assure you it's not personal.

  3. Hmm, strange that the first result I looked at in the Athlon XP 1700+ Palomino was misread.

    I think there is a systemic failure by CPU-z to correctly read and identify the CPU's in this particular sub-set from AMD consistently.

     

    Mr.Scott if you think otherwise please speak plainly and state what it is you suspect. :)

     

    Speaking frankly, given that I have shown that all CPU-Z versions work correctly, and that is the only proof that can realistically be excepted, I think the submissions that are supposedly mis-read should be placed in the category that CPU-Z reads them. Any other excuse is simply exploiting a hole in the verification process, and opens the database up to intentional mis-representation of identified processors using the same excuse.

  4. I provide picture of the actual CPU with the CPU-Z submission usually - these are all genuine XP 1600+, 1700+, 1800+ and not MP.

    I guess they are misdetected by the CPU-Z, if you have an XP Palomino I think you can have a go yourself.

    I'll set up something shortly. I have plenty of Palominos. If you have one set up, why not test ver. 1.55 and see if that does it too. Here's a ver. 1.55, 2000+ Palomino, and that looks fine.

    Here's a ver. 1.56, 2100+ Palomino, and that looks fine too.

    I don't know what to say man. Only your submissions are mis-read?
