  1. G400 whippin' GeForce at 32bit by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Tom's Hardware on The GeForce256

    It is interesting to compare the 32 bit performance of the G400 and the GeForce

    640x480 GeForce has a slim lead
    1024x768 about even
    1600x1200 G400 slapping the GeForce silly

    Expendable 1280x960

    Q3Test 1.08 1600x1200

    both from Anand's review

  6. A Round up of hardware sites(Re:Kryotech's co....) by Xamot · · Score: 2 · on "Fastest PC in the World" Runs Athlon at 800MHz
    These are the sites I've heard of and check. I have a few more URL's, but they are only cover specific types of hardware like one for 3D boards, BX mobos, AMD chips, etc. Note these aren't really in any order of preference, but I do read Ars and Sharky the most.

  9. Re:you idiots..... by FeiYen · · Score: 1 · on Asus release of Athlon(K7) M/B

    Frankly, I trust AnandTech's reviews more than I do Tom's. Tom's reviews tend to be a little too soapbox'ish for my taste. Whereas Anand and his staff have a happy go lucky, say it like it is approach to testing.

    Just my 2yen.

  11. Re:Vote with your money: TNT2 recommendations anyo by Vengeance · · Score: 1 · on 3dfx sues Creative Labs over Glide

    Today, the best performing TNT2 card, out of the box, is the Hercules Dynamite TNT2Ultra. It is manufacturer-guaranteed to run at 175MHz core setting. Every other TNT2Ultra being manufactured today is only guaranteed to 150.

    Even the Hercules TNT2 standard is clocked at 143, which is close to the speed everyone else is running ultras.

    Visit some of the gaming sites, including AnandTech and Sharky Extreme, to see reviews of this and other cards.

  12. Re:What to do? by zealot · · Score: 1 · on Celeron Dual Board Adapter

    I don't know. I personally would go for the celerons, but I don't do anything cache intensive. Since you seem to do a lot of imaging stuff, you just might want that extra cache. On the otherhand, if you're gonna run the celerons at faster than 400MHz, the upped clock speed might offset the lack of cache.

    Check out these benchmarks at Anandtech (under NT) for a general idea. Hope that helps.

  13. How about some REAL WORLD benchmarks? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Tom's Hardware benchmarks K6-3 and PIII

    Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Microsoft Netshow Encoder? Adobe Photoshop?

    Please. Not only were these were all Intel-supplied benchmarks, used for the sole purpose of making the K6-3 look bad, they're nowhere near being real-world bench marks. Who uses Netshow? Isn't Real G2 the standard? Why not use THAT encoder? What about MP3? It's becoming a major standard in on-line music distribution. Let's see how fast Fraunhofer or Xing codecs convert a George Clinton tune from WAV to MP3. We can call it "The Atomic Dog test."

    Maybe I'm biased because he's going to high school at my alma mater, but Anand seemed to be a little more thorough in his benchmarks and explanations thereof than Tom was. Either way, SOMEONE needs to come up with some more useful benchmarks for PC multimedia. Relying on ZDNet thingies and Intel propaganda just doesn't work like it used to.

  14. The meat: SSE vs. 3DNow! by jnik · · Score: 1 · on Tom's Hardware benchmarks K6-3 and PIII

    Anand has a nice little comparison of SSE and 3DNow! Biggest surprise to me (stupid me) was that you can execute 2 3DNow! instructions per cycle, but only one SSE--so the smaller registers don't make that much of a difference.

  17. Wrong.. by HoserHead · · Score: 1 · on K7 to exist in socket variety by 2000
    the celeron's cache speed is at 1/2 the CPU, not at 1/1 (as you say).
    Nope, the Celeron has 128 kB of cache on-die, running at the processor's speed.
    1/2 cache/cpu speed ratio compared to 1/1 isn't as big a difference as you might think.
    It's more than enough to make the AMD K6-3 with 256 kB of on-die cache the clear winner when compared with Intel's 1/2 speed cache chips.
  18. Celerons overclock well by HoserHead · · Score: 1 · on New Intel Celerons
    ..at least the old slot-1 based Celerons do.

    Check out Anandtech's Celery Report, a report on the overclocking of Celerons. A cheap $CND 129 Celeron 300A can quite easily be brought up to 450, with performance at or above that of a Pentium II for many tasks. I've seriously been considering getting one...
