March 3, 201411 yr please tell us this isnt a preview of the actual team cup? who still has this stuff?
March 3, 201411 yr I like the idea of using older hardware, but this old? I'm hoping it's not a preview of the real thing too
March 3, 201411 yr old? only k7 an pentium II are old, for the other stages u need the newest hardware... i like the idea. so u don´t need to much money and everybody can compete
March 3, 201411 yr old? only k7 an pentium II are old, for the other stages u need the newest hardware... i like the idea. so u don´t need to much money and everybody can compete  I just think something like K10 and Core2 would be great. Still old, but cheap and easy to find.
March 3, 201411 yr Author please tell us this isnt a preview of the actual team cup? who still has this stuff? Â Other than the "spirit" there is no connection between the warm-up competitions and the actual Team Cup.
March 3, 201411 yr @robbo2: i like the idea of changing the required hardware often, so there is no binned hardware and everybody has the same chance to win.
March 3, 201411 yr I think this year TeamCup will include Ati (Radeon) subcompetition like the Nvidia last year and most probably there will be hwbot prime subcompetition .
March 3, 201411 yr yeah there aren´t to much current manufacturer of gpu...  because of that i like the classic competitions with non-nvidia/amd...
March 3, 201411 yr Its good to have a competition that doesn't require the usual binned newest generation stuff. Plenty of other competitions like that. Besides your Team Points are calculated by all your hardware, no need to turn this one into who has the best sponsorship.
March 3, 201411 yr Just sold my only K7, man was that a dumb idea. Â Any word on when the real thing is happening?
March 3, 201411 yr In the fifth stage, we must use a single core/single die cpu or we can use even a multi core cpu with cores shut down?
March 3, 201411 yr Tell me about Via SuperPI 1M {LIMITATIONS} Only use Via processors. Can I run SuperPI on Cyrix CPU? (Historically Via bought Cyrix), or only one way to use VIA C3 and VIA C7 cpu? Ths.
March 3, 201411 yr Author In the fifth stage, we must use a single core/single die cpu or we can use even a multi core cpu with cores shut down? Â "Single Core" is one of the benchmark settings of Geekbench. You can run with all cores enabled!
March 3, 201411 yr Other than the "spirit" there is no connection between the warm-up competitions and the actual Team Cup. Â You know I meant in terms of the age of hardware requirements.
March 4, 201411 yr @zeropluszero: don´t be afraid, on team-cup comes real old hardware like pentium 1 and voodoo II
March 4, 201411 yr @zeropluszero: don´t be afraid, on team-cup comes real old hardware like pentium 1 and voodoo II  So I have to do ebay research now
March 4, 201411 yr @d3mox: hardcore challange: stage 1: final reality stage 2: aquanox stage 3: 3D Mark 99 all limited to pentium 1/AMD 586/Cirix/IBM 5x86 stage 4: 3D Mark 2k voodoo full out
March 4, 201411 yr cyrix III = via c3, isn´t it? Ö_Öbut cyrix 6x86 is ibm, not via, right? So what about this? I need official answer on my question.
