However at the very least we wish to get some sort of confirmation that it is indeed a tweak or a group of tweaks that are responsible...and even that we haven't received yet.

In fact, any request for an explanation is usually met with nothing but flames on OPB's part.
Hi Gautam,

Thats cool to know

I agree, some sort of nod or acknowledgment from OPB's side that these are indeed tweaks (hardware software, etc) which gives him the advantage would make everyone a lot more comfortable. I agree, statistically, his "performance level" falls higher (in the opposite sense) than others... but thats how the rule of percentile works right? The top rankers in any IQ test are usually a grade above the rest of the crowd. That kind of a high score doesn't make their score invalid... just that they are better at what they do (in this case Spi benching) that the rest of the people.

Also, consider that FUGGER wants this matter cleared up... he must be convinced there is truth in OPB and therefore he still converses with him and tries to get him back on the forum. I am sure he didn't want to invite him to continue the flaming.

Also sometimes I see a slight bias here... the tone of some people suggests that they simply cannot digest that OPB can get such good scores... they will say anything, go to any extent to discredit him just for the heck of it.

All said and done, at 13.4 from < 3.6GHZ!!!!! Best I have done is a 13.89s with 3-3-2 timings on 975x on a 4MB C2D!
