Yeah, I can tell my 940 Presler does better than my 570J Prescott when I'm actually playing games too. Using the same 4.4 gig CPU clock speed and same vid card settings, I get about 500-600 points higher in 2Dmark2003 (although part of that might be because I'm using a newer driver). Can't wait until the games all start coming out supporting multithread.

This is air not water, just a delta and standard XP120.
