    I cna understand wanting a spoiler alert on a post revealing the end of a film, but you must be a true geek to want a spoiler alert on a benchmark!

    Wow, coupled with the ATI Radeon 9600ASC, I'd be the ultimate in cool, whilst getting my Nethack on.

    I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm all about benchmarks. I love fast kit. I own an Athlon64, so seeing it win even makes me feel good about myself. OTOH, the performance differences tend not to be huge, and Athlon64 doesn't win every benchmark. Wake me up when I can afford 8 GB of RAM. That's when Athlon 64 will really matter.

    One page, no annoying Flash advertisements, no tedious space-filling fluff, solid information.

    It's the antithesis of a Tom's review!
