In contrast to systems assembled by some of the industry's so-called experts, who use liquid nitrogen to run a P4 just beyond 4000 MHz for a brief moment, our system is suitable for normal day-in-day-out use. A car engine that shows promise on the test bed is all well and good, but maximum theoretical speed doesn't help much when you need to overtake quickly and safely. Here, we give you a taste of what is possible.
The 4 GHz machine achieves over 500 points with the BAPCo Sysmark 2002, the Comanche 4 3D game runs at 75 frames per second, and Quake III at 435 frames. What else is there to say? Conventional ready-built high-end systems deliver only about half of this performance.
