						I find it hard to believe that some of those are measures of FPS. I mean, a 2 Ghz AMD Sempron getting over 400 FPS?

						Well game simulation is not affected by render fps, like I tend to get 200 fps with nothing going on.

						The P8xxx seem to be winning, which I find kind off odd, due to the low clock.

						FoiL wrote: The P8xxx seem to be winning, which I find kind off odd, due to the low clock. My point exactly. Is the rating more like milliseconds taken to complete, or something? Maybe? Yeah, after looking at it further, it makes more sense if the number is actually time taken to complete instead of FPS.

						Still doubt that too. If that were the case the P8600 would be somewhat faster than my P8400.

						I would say that it's small enough of a difference to be negligable. People have different programs running in the background, and different hardware too.

						Yeah, the test results are very awkward. This pc barely runs the tester with nothing going on at 30FPS with a 0.60 timescale.

						Told us not to post results directly to thread, so results are here: http://pastebin.com/wUSYNQVEApologies, not vista/an older CPU, but I figured I might as well test. Are those results good or bad? The FPS was 1000 firs the first 2 tests, and for the the third it would flicker to 500, then 333, then back to 1000 when everything was clear.

						Those are very very good results. And they prove my theory about low numbers being better.

						Oh, my bad. I was reading off the graph and you were reading the results themselves.

						Yeah, lower results are better (Except for RAM), as they're deviations from "normal" FPS, not the actual FPS readings. Larger numbers mean larger impact of particle stress. I'll put the new results up once i've got them into the xls, I'm at school at the moment.

						I'll boot from Vista in a few and edit in the results.
  *EDIT* Vista broke.
