Thanks pHaestus,

But doesn't that tend to support the idea that the benchmark is biased?:shrug:

If it's set up to allow Ati's older cards to run then why didn't they allow for nVidia's as well?:shrug:

What are your thoughts on the quality of this benchmark pHaestus (beyond it's being bunk)? What should be done differantly to make for a fair(er) benchmark?

I'll gladly admit this is confusing.

Only thing I can see out of this, is go down and check out some running systems at some shops before buying. I've done so in the past for reasurance if nothing else. Then buy what ever is best priced that does what I want.
