didnt.....640x480 and for $90 bucks?....must have bought it 3rd hand.Perhaps you
should take a peek in your BIOS and do some re-figuring......you too can be a
computer GOD someday and all you have to do is read up on it.I'm sick of hearing
about guys like you that ASSUME that your benchmark program is the end all/be
all
when it comes to deciphering your bytes.Best benchmark you can have is knowing
that your system can handle whatever you throw at it and that it makes you
happy.I'm happy.....and alot of AMD users are...those of us that KNOW what we're
doing....we kinda chuckle at you CELERY boys cuz most times you dont know
squat.Like is this case.You can keep your SLOT 1 and you can enjoy your INTEL
all you like.....but for the bottom dollar...you can not beat an AMD.Long live
the rebellion!!!!
