lol.

Ok finished my sig, so you can see what I am working with and I can build a system that will smoke. Yeo, if you really think 2 completely identical pc's, installed with the same software are going to bench more than a very tiny percentage difference from each other because one is "burned in" then you and Micheal Dell can be buddy buddy. I can promise you any system built by gateway, dell, or hp I can build one with the same cpu, ram, video card, and hd - I will smoke it out of the box with no such burn in.

Oh and my IBM, ahh you obviously weren't around for PS2's and I don't mean sony. There was no such thing as a gaming pc in the 486sx/25 days and earlier. You just squeezed as much free conventional memory as you could out of your 2 megs of ram. And sound, I didn't even know games had sound until I got the first SB card on the market.
