Prison isn't so bad when you feel so good about what you did. On the other hand, I haven't had to act this way in public since my school mates grew up!
Pity you didn't grow up too. Quit making excuses, you didn't have to act that way at all, your ego was challenged and some kind of mental defect caused you to think you were being called a liar.
There are millions of people able to converse and disagree without any mention of head masks. Something makes you think you are an exception but you are not.
You know you wouldn't be feeling good in prison, so you're a liar too.
And now you want me to dig up MY OWN four year old data to prove my case? You don't think I can remember something so simple?
It's not about your ego, not about what you think can or can't remember - it's about the actual FACTS, benchmarks available all over the internet.
It's also about this crazy idea you have that you must be the sole person who had a few Tualatins.
No I'm not interested in your 4 year old data, if it is valid it will be reproducible from online data. Naturally that data has to be keeping the CPU as the variable, not a different board chipset, different video, etc.
Running a Maxtor 20GB 7200RPM hard drive, a Radeon DDR (LE DDR TVO at standard DDR clock speed), 512MB RAM, I got the exact results I described in 3D Mark 2001, TMPEGenc VCD encode times, and a couple benchmarks that have faded into history. I remember which hardware I resold and which hardware I kept, and reselling was easy because I was a system supplier for a local store.
I think I already mentioned the video card needs to be newer for gaming performance, it is a reasonable assumption to make that a Radeon DDR is inappropriate for best gaming results on AGP platforms.
Regardless, this general concept you have is completely invalid. No amount of ego matters, systems sold or reselling or supplier, it all matters not the tiniest bit as it bears not on the actual performance of two CPUs compared.
If someone only has really old or basic, minimal parts such that the CPU isn't a bottleneck, naturally that will mean it didn't matter so much which CPU was chosen in some uses. We could say the same about trying to game on a P3 vs a Core2Duo if we had lowly enough PCI video card installed in both but obviously that would not make the two CPUs equal, it would be similarly wrong to claim they were, just on a larger scale.
The benchmarks are out there, I've never claimed a higher FSB doesn't help "some", only that it is a fairly small difference compared to clock rate. A P3 @ 1GHz may be in the same ballpark as a 1.1GHz, sometimes 1.2GHz Tualatin Celeron but not a 1.4Ghz.
I don't even know why you're arguing this stuff, it should be obvious to anyone with a brain that a vast chunk of my personal experience comes from this specific topic.
Your ego has gotten the better of you. There is no vague claim of experience that changes the factual data. There is also no evidence you are using Tualatins any more than some others do, if anything this chunk of experience signals problem recognition rather than resolution, a lower success rate.
I have done apples:apples comparisons on same platform, isolating the CPU. As always my results were checked against the existing information on the 'net. I didn't write Tualatin was faster as a random guess and no amount of ego on your part seems to do anything but interfere with understanding the data. People make false assumptions all the time, but some aren't so ego driven that they can't look back over that data and accumulate more data. Results have to be repeatable and focused on the right variable.
It is very odd that you are trying to take this "personal benchmark" argument mode, there have been so many benchmarks on the internet it would be a deliberate ignorance of the vast wealth of data available to consider only one isolated system(s) from one person instead of all that the modern internet provides.
It is quite probable that on a task like TMPEGenc encoding you will find higher FSB & Memory helps. That's not the same thing as assuming it helps enough to offet a 40% higher clocked CPU. I never claimed Tualatin Celeron and P3 performance was the same clock for clock but this is not a small clockrate difference and whatever advantage P3 had was already gone by a 1.2GHz Tualatin in most uses.
Note the following article were it states
Celeron repeats: models with the frequency over 667 MHz (a multiplier equal to 10 and more) didn't differ much in performance due to stoppages caused by a difference between the speed of the core and of the memory. But the current Celerons haven't yet reach this threshold ...
Check the benchmarks too, the only contender looking bad in the benchmarks (closest thing to a P3 1GHz performance level) is the older Coppermine 1.1GHz Celeron.
