I swear one of these days we'll get around to doing a CPU review :) We've got stuff planned but this month is turning out to be very GPU intensive.
We tried to incorporate as many of your requests as possible, I hope you enjoy the review.
I saw Kill Bill btw; I liked the movie, it was very gory and it made me want to watch something funny or happy afterwards, but I still thought it was a good movie. Be warned if you can't stomach blood though, it's not too realistic but there's a lot of it :)
Take care.

Mr. Lai Shimpi,Could you please tell me the three most important hardware components to consider when purchasing a new computer gaming system part by part?
In my opinion it would be an upgradable motherboard, the processor and upgradable case?
My max to spend is around 800$ but I want this system to be really fast. So the graphics card ram and the rest I can wait till I find a good deal. Thanks

Is anyone (besides me:) interested in an analysis of transmeta's new processor?hohoh0 - Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - link
Next up, CPU Scaling for vid cards :D???Kill Bill was fun, although I thought there were some slow parts. I still think Pulp Fiction was his best work though :D

Fantastic review Anand! I'm happy to see that some of the suggestions given in one of your previous posts were taken into consideration. :)I'm sure that quite a few 9700 Pro owners will be relieved that their cards are still a tad more powerful than the 9600 XTs.

You say "one of these days we'll get around to doing a CPU review", what CPUs? Do you mean that CPU scaling review using your latest test suite that you've been talking about? Or are you talking about a new CPU (Prescott)?I ask cause I'm planning to upgrade after Oct 26th (Intel price cuts), but if a new and possibly better CPU is going to be out shortly after that date, I'd like to know so I can wait.

I had a serious question Anand. Since you were obviously trying to test the cards on the highest performing platform available today, why did you not use the GigaByte K8NNXP-940? Wesley's tests seem to show it to be a much better platform for the AthlonFX. Was it just a question of availability? Or is the Asus board you used comparable in performance?UlricT - Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - link
"Anand, did you have random red dots flashing on the screen through out 'Kill Bill'?"I'm sure the fanATIcs and Nvidiots will blame it on the hardware used... :)
