How can this be ??

How can it be that my bench marks are higher than a P4 1.5Ghz

CUSL2
PIII800/MC371-3
256MB Mushkin High Pref REV2

P4s don't perform as well as they should, probably because software at the moment doesn't take advantage of the improvements in its architechture. I'm not surprised that a P3 @ 1.05GHz beats it in Sandra

I'm not so sure about the validity of Sandra, I mean when I run sandra, it always shows a PIII1g i820 getting smoked by an AMD duron at 600mhz, and I couldn't help notice that in your screenshot, your version shows the PIII tromping the duron...WTF?
another thing of note is it's inability to reckognise my bios...it gave me a warinig saying that my bios is not upgradeable...and my board is less than six months old...and I have the latest sandra...so it should see an award bios...if my bios was not flashable, then why would abit post the original bios on their site for d'l ?
I can't complain though, it was free.:-)

Any benchmark that uses the FPU heavily will show the AMD and PIIIs as much higher, since that is the P4's problem.

## I would say try upgrading your SiSandra to the latest version, they just released a 2001 Version not too long ago. Try that, that just may cure up some of the problems you are having with it. I notice alot less problems running Sandra 2001. It also includes a new feature in 2001, which is the CPU burn in. So it's worth checking out, trust me... ##

## Just noticed you have the latest. Doh I must really be getting tired. I don't know why Sandra is improperly identifying things. Have you tried seeing if they have motherboard specific updates for it yet ? ##

My .02 Cent's worth

Oh but my CeleronII 800 at 1.05Gigs does that trick too, LOL!

what do you guys paste your wcpuid and sandra stats to? in order to turn them into a picture file?

Just hit your PrtScn button then open any image editing program you have. windows paint even works.
