Graphics cards or networking/disk subsystem? by Tackhead · 2006-01-18 10:17 · Score: 5, Funny

Boldly going where fools fear to tread, Futuremark announced today the release and immediate availability of 3DMark06 by means of a front-page article on Slashdot.
Weighing in at a suicidal 575 megabyates, 3DMark06 expands benchmarking from beyond the graphics subsystem to include an array of hard drives, CPU and server failover tests for overall performance measurement of current and future web serving systems when the ever-loving fuck being Slashdotted out of them.
