Running XP and a geforce4 with a 100mhz pentium ...odd

25mhz of pure power.  Quick get some ice, this poor little processor is about to blow it’s little wad.

This actually is a pretty good site for information on processors.  But, unless im blind, i see no actually figures that stack up.  Did these people just do some research on processors or did they benchmark them as their site implies.  I may be wrong because i didnt spend much time at the site.

It would also be better to see how things stack when you have a 500mhz Linux comp vs. the new 3.06ghz Windows XP.

Oh yeah, while we are on the subject of 3.06 Have you heard the shit about the buzz word Hyper-Threading Technology?  Windows XP is suppose to be so great with it, but when XP is installed w/ Hyper-Threading on it automatically loads a shit load more proggies when you start.  It makes you wonder if microsoft enjoys doing gayass shit that makes no sense why.  Next they're will be HyperThreading requirements on software.

P.S. although i've never used the new 3.06 i have read some reviews thats say it actualls loads shit slower than regular, WAHAHHAHAHA.

hm_murdock:
they tested 65 processors, from 100 to 3066 MHz...

the verdict?

x86 still sucks balls

Kintaro:
XP Could not install on a 486

Its impossible because a 486 can only take upto 32mb of ram, XP needs at least 64mb (and still runs like shit then).

hm_murdock:
why would you want to run expee on a 486 anyway?
