Good stuff going on here Bullant! I know you'll get it to under 5 minutes soon!

Have fun with this one guys.

Already cast my vote for suggestion 1 but I still have a few thoughts on it. I was thinking before I voted it could be based on efficiency as in who got the same result with a lower CPU MHz BUT that in itself isn't a great way to decide - There are so many factors other than CPU speed itself that can give a good result. RAM timings, HDD setups, OS tweaks, the list goes on so saying it should be based on efficiency isn't really doable. Massman has already thrown in his opinion on that and I have to agree with him, it's all too easy to lie about what you did and we've all seen examples of this at work here, including some that just don't add up when compared to other scores/results with similar hardware ran at the same or even greater speeds overall. Here's an example of what I'm getting at, an older entry from 2007 but from what's listed in the entry it just doesn't "Look" right, all you can see is "Valid" for the result/proof but no actual screenshot with it or even what hardware he used aside from a 2600+ T-Bred and even that in itself could be in doubt here - I dunno: http://hwbot.org/submission/581998_zorbapol_wprime___1024m_athlon_mp_2600_thoroughbred_1494sec_250ms Talk about efficiency compared to other chips like it or even compared to Barton cores! There is just too much wiggle room to justify efficiency as a basis for deciding and after thinking about it, #1 just seemed best to me.

Personally I like Option 1 best.

Found something else that looks strange today, same thing in the same place but with a different name. I hope no one is messing with the site.

OK - Who's or what is mike547 and how do you bench him/it?

According to this site http://www.xgcdb.com/ you are correct and it was a Q3 2005 release. Had to ask since many of those models were contemporaries of it but if it's not a 2004 made card, it's out = Fair enough.

Noted that the ATI X800 GTO AGP slot card wasn't included within the Prescott vs. Clawhammer portion of the comp but virtually all other X800 series cards were. Do these fall out of qualifying due to their date of manufacture or something? It does say all X800 cards are valid but didn't see this one listed amongst those listed.

Edited due to massive brainfart - Question now in the correct thread.

Will be corrected as soon as the 48 hr period for not editing a score expires - My bad.

Noted myself the search function doesn't seem to work and trying to view specifics within the rankings doesn't work either - Either that or the site is crawling but I believe it's the former. Waited for awhile myself for something to appear but was still loading or that's what it said. Maybe the recalc won't take too much longer and it will all start working again.

Man, you put the hurt on this bench - Great job!

Need this board added to the database please: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M3A/ Thanks!

Well sure looks like it to me based on what I've seen with these challenges: http://hwbot.org/challenge/rondalvess_cpu_frequency_country_challenge___aug_21_2012_until_aug_28_2012/ This one was only for folks from Brazil. http://hwbot.org/challenge/rsa_alvess_cpu_frequency_global_challenge___aug_22_2012_until_aug_29_2012/ This was for anyone wanting to take a crack at it. Note that the winning result from both was the actual limitation/handicap of the challenge itself meaning any challengers could not win = No chance in Hell guys. I understand these are for fun, not moderated and yes, I also don't have to compete in any of these myself BUT isn't this maybe a tad on the ridiculous side vs what challenges are supposed to actually be? Just sayin guys.....

I dunno...? I'm guessing it's gotta be your digestive system - Or how fast you can clean your drawers when the benching results come out.

Can't wait to see what you do with those other sticks - Good job!

Good run Sofos!

Saw this when I tried to submit in the GeForce 500 series part of the comp.

Rock it Splave!

I had to do it you know.... If I could at all.

I was thinking "Eh.... Why not?"

Here's a pic of my pride and joy of the Abits I have. It's an unmodded NF7 v2.0 that's close to perfect condition. Factory stock right down to the Abit chipset cooler. Only thing different is the obvious additional cooler for the SB and that's easily removed you know. Posting with it right now just to give it a little runtime since I rarely use it and it's always worked perfectly since I've had it. No guys, it's not for sale either..... But I'd be willing to bet if I did the mods, it would be a good one.

Nice one!

I like this idea of this comp as well. I'll have to try the Abit's I have and see how well they'll do. I'll even give the KV7 a shot just for kicks while I'm at it.

Had the same problem at first but then remembered about installing the patch. http://www.futuremark.com/download/3dmark03patch360/ If this isn't the case I don't know what else to tell you but in my case it fixed the validation problem I was having.
