Thanks for the info Demigod.

I totally agree Demigod. Although my current system is fast enough that I haven't felt the need yet (and I need a new motherboard anyway). Maybe when UT2 comes out...

Is this Sisoft Sandra thing accurate? Take a look at this. My Celeron 950 is at 1270. This is the Arithmetic test.

Here's the Multimedia one. Beats a bloody P4. I find that hard to believe.

On a clock-per-clock basis the Pentium 4 is slower than the Pentium 3 and the Athlon. The Athlon 1400 is as fast as a Pentium 4 1800. The Pentium 3 is as fast as an Athlon and the Tualatins can beat the Athlons at the same clock (due to their larger L2 cache). This is why Intel is limiting the Tualatin to Celerons. If this processor were to compete directly with the Pentium 4 no one would buy P4 systems.

Um... i thing u should update your Sisoft to the latest version because the last version of sisoft sandra series are not actuall and remember one thing that sisoft are using Synthetic Benchmark not Real Life Benchmark if u want to test your CPU on real life condition run 3DMark2k1 SE

On ATX motherboards there should be an override jumper that'll reset the BIOS settings (usually located close to the CMOS battery). Refer to your motherboard manual for more info.
