975X compare to X38 - who is better ? Simply test [56K friendly]

You just can't compare two different systems with different windows instalations, CPU's (even 2 cores enable on a QUAD).....
You HAVE to use the SAME HD with the SAME windows and the SAME CPU/Rams......Then you can compare them by MAXING them out (ram/timmings/etc. - each platform) keeping the CPU's frequency the SAME for both of them.....Then you can copmare and say yes or no.....

For Example: X38 might play your rams at 600MHz......Why play them at only 333MHz?.....975 might play your rams at 400MHz.....Why play them at 333MHz......
You HAVE to get the MAX out of them so to compare them......Playing(for example) the rams at the same frequency for each platform, means nothing coz x38 might have higher internal latency than 975.....
There are SO MANY settings that MUST be done before comparing......
MAX them out......KEEP the SAME CPU frequency (for reference)......Use the SAME rig with the SAME HD......and redo your tests......This is the way that you will be sure.....
