Mr.Scott

Excellent. Did not know that. Thanks.

Great review and test method. Surprised no Diamond paste was tested.

Capitalized on my soft entry, WTG Frank. I'll get back to this sometime.

250 is tough on a 100 or 133 FSB chip. GL with rest of comp gentlemen.

Nice. Can't touch it.

Awesome. That's about as pro as it gets.

Just a random post from what you would consider an 'outsider' from the Pro league. I like the concept/format of the Pro cup. If what you're trying to accomplish is to draw more interest/participation from the remaining leagues, IMO, this is a good way to do it. It's structured not much different from the normal team comps which have been pretty populated and successful lately. FWIW, I'm interested, and I know there are others interested. Just waiting to get one under your belt to see how it all pans out.

Gamblers don't play to get even, they play to win.

Dam. http://hwbot.org/submission/1010788_jaan_superpi___1m_athlon_xp_m_2500_33sec_516ms Edit- Nevermind. I see now the sub has been corrected. Still doesn't change the way the comp points were distributed though.

http://hwbot.org/benchmark/superpi_-_1m/rankings?start=0&hardwareTypeId=processor_1231#start=0#interval=20 This sub should be blocked. Time in comp SS doesn't match the submitted time. Shame this wasn't caught in the comp. It cost a few people some positions and points.

Not for nothin but you've been a bit of a stranger too Jonathan.

Me 3.

Same thing I said, just more complex.

Because less people finished ahead of you.

Bin a few more chips and try a little harder. Efficiency can always be improved. No such thing as perfect.

Oh yes, lets reward the entitlement generation for not getting the job done yet again. I agree, time does not equal skill, but with all the advancements in OC'ing and sub ambient technology, these scores should be beaten more readily if the bencher so chooses. One just needs to apply themselves, the hardware is still out there, you see it in almost every team comp. All you have to do is beat the score above you and you'll be rewarded. It's that simple.

With method 2 the #1 score would receive the same points as the later tied score. No points lost but no benefit for being #1 for an extended length of time either if the recent tie gets the same points. Bottom line is, you want to reward for ties. There was nothing beaten to warrant more points. Just my opinion. You asked, I gave.

Sooo.....who were the 4 winners? I only see three.

A tie doesn't beat anything. Why should the first guy in lose points? Example: Guy #1 has a #1 score for 10 years. It takes 10 years for somebody else to TIE said score, not beat it, just tie it, and the 10 year vet LOSES points. That's BS. Voted 'leave it alone'.

Wrong Wprime version bro.

Cool. Mr. Placid has been quite tenacious in this segment the last couple weeks also.

Nice chip. Can't touch it here. GL with rest of comp.

I'll have him run it again. Thanks for the heads up.

Can't tell that from the pic though.
