I'm meaning no disrespect, and understand english is not your native language (just like me), but I do not understand what you are trying to say with those two sentences. Could you elaborate?

Okay, okay ... I'll try find some old 2.4GHz Bloomfield chip in the trash and bench it for you, then your Barcelona will shine again, because Bloomfield 2.93GHz 8threads is truely cheating on your Barcelona 2.3GHz*2.
Satisfied? (for you I think) ...
Ok now I understand.

I'm getting all this sh1t because my dual cpu setup outperformed one single nehalem in one or two benchmarks. My intetions vere not to make nehalem look bad, and I assumed most XS readers understand that there is a difference between 1 cpu -> 2 cpu systems. That's why I did not comment further on it. I am not after making my dual AMD system shine on the expense of a pre launch single nehalem, I am not stupid, I know Nehalem will outperform Barcelona and most possibly Shanghai with a fair margin.

As an enthusiast myself I believed people here would be interested in a comparison between the different systems (as I have stated a lot of times now)
