I think DangerDen is shipping the block with the 'middle-of-the-road' jet. #2 or #4 I beleive. I think the interchangable jets will only be for people who want to play around, and dont mind taking it apart a few times. If they see a 1-2c difference with #2 over #3, then it could be good. I haven't played with all the jets yet. Im going to test one more jet for the review. Changing jets isnt going to be for most people. But like a carburator on an engine, it only comes roughly tuned. The adjusment of the jets lets a user fine tune his system, depending on things like flow/head. My system has a lot of flow, which is why the cascade works well, and the smaller jet on the RBX is doing well.

But thats exactly the reason I said the Cascade still might be a little better, because on lower flow, the Cascade is doing better. It's always going to boil down to each users system. But I think that where the Cascade does well, the RBX will do well too.

I havent read any testing on the MCW5002, but while you're here Bill, I didn't get great numbers on it. It just doesn't mount tight to my Athlon. I followed the instructions to the letter, and I remounted it like half a dozen times. Im sure that it would work SO much better on a P4 or AMD64 where most mounting works, but the socket mounting system just doesnt seem to work well enough. Have you guys found the same thing? It actually tests worse than my Maze4.
