A horrible joke.

Unlike most people on XS, some of us actually use our computers for stuff other than synthetic benching.

That's why we like Orthos.

I have had all the 3DMarks pass, SuperPiss pass, as well as various other benches pass, but Orthos would fail within a few minutes.

So then i go play some Q4, only to have it crash twice in an hour.

That's why i like Orthos.

I'm not saying it's imperative for everyone, but for those of us who actually use our PCs, it's a pretty damn decent indicator is stability.

Granted, it may need an update, but as mentioned, if you want rock solid stability, there are few other programs that will cut it.

I'm the other way round on this issue - I've been running my 6600 at 4.1 Ghz rock solid (app.) stable - no glitches, crashes, or any type of weirdness in any way shape or form for three months now, (BF2, GRAW, Office, etc..etc..) but it won't do more than 2 minutes of Ortho.

P.S. I really need to update my sig!
