YES! I fully support! possible even without socket restrictions. Fastest agp is good, but was already. Fastest s370 - was, fastest s462 - was. Fastest CPU brand (Cyrix, IBM, VIA, ets) - no. Fastest CPU core (Mendocino, Thunderbird, Pluto, ets)- no. In this direction...

By the way, the dependence on the cpu speed can be minimized by simply limiting its frequency (as it is done in other competitions) - for example 500 MHz, and compete in overclocking the video card and not the system as a whole.

Well, then not 06 My idea - is to test what can do the system with old processor in the 3D test (but not the 2D ones which are the mark 99 or 2000 whose results depend on the processor but almost do not depend on the video card)

My suggestion: 3Dmark 2006 (or later?) On the socket7 (or another very weak processor, even possible with the frequency limitation). Without limiting the video card! Or something like that.

I agree with max1024 IMHO the problem is that usually the competition (CPU) are divided on sockets. I think it would be more correct to divide by the type of processor core. It would be more correctly and would appear a lot of different options.

7660G+7670M ! Wrong category.

no gpu-z on screen PS I was forced to remove due to lack of memory tabs CPU-Z

Thorobred B0!!! at screen.

I have bug with new versions. In my benchers windows (Win Professional XP SP2 VLK Rus) worked only 2.27 . Version 104 is work (worked before) , 108, 109, 110 - no (Invalid data file: Unable to parse the datafile). This file http://romanlv.narod.ru/_ld/0/1_58485.rar . Tell me what is wrong? Where is a bug? Missing dll? driver? file? What it wants?

Would be better if an adapter was used there. Will repeat Spoiled harmonious series And there, in challenger, nothing would not it was spoiled

Yes. Ruined good season At first I thought - it was the most thought-out season. Why OLD School? 479+adapter It not old - rather, it is unique School. Could make a separate competition and not to spoil this. But as I realized what is done is done. Hopefully in the future will be more thought out. I had nothing against the more rare voodoo5, slot-a, s423 and much more. Because there all was according with theme. PS I have CT-479, so that business not in it, if you think

I think it makes no sense to mix the different processors. But you know better ... Bets?

Two various socket in 1 round. About this speech. What is 754? One architecture, only various process technology, and cache size. Exactly the same as the socket 478 - Willamate-Nortwood-Preskott. But dotlan more logical to architecture 478A(Tualatin)-SocketM-SocketP Even 939 is closer to 754, than 478 to 479 Marquzz Did I say something against the adapters? I am against THIS PARTICULAR adapter in THIS PARTICULAR season.

Your picture I showed an example. My main idea is to move the pressure points to the edge of (to the point of contact CPU PCB with the socket) Reducing the pressure on the center (CPU crystal) not the main, and of itself not solve the problem. In theory. I do not have subge a processor and guided only by a pictures deformed processors, logic, and knowledge of subject "strength of materials". Well, and the experience of working with similar problems.

CPU! But not socket. It is an indicator of skill overclocker. But that that we have - just ... the presence of the possibility of having an adapter. ADAPTER, non CPU, as it was in previous rounds. That's why I say - it is not round of processor 479 - it is round adapter 479. PS XP and XP-M have one core (Barton for example), and here (478)- a completely different processors. About this and speech (478 is a mobile too - for example this - http://hwbot.org/hardware/processors#key=pentium_4_m_18ghz ) but not Dothan! NO! I can not find the link, but repeatedly stated that if the slot-1 CPU, it means slot-1 CPU, not motherboard slot-1 (and this is right IMHO) Good idea! But not necessarily old school, can be special competition.
