The Spin off Smoothness Thread

[TL1000S]

Now I am sitting on the portable (C2D) and just did a simple test.

1: move the mouse from side to side on the screen with no other applications running. No problem of course.
2: Started one compilation in visual studio, and moved the mouse from side to side on the screen. Now the mouse starts to “disappear”. The mouse pointer freezes and shows up in another place, you need to look for the mouse pointer where it is. It doesn't happen that often but it happens.
3: Started two compilations the behavior is now much more common.

Glow9 has already answered (quite harshly).

I see you (and others) repeat these arguments.

I hope you (all) see the epic failure in such arguments.

1st:
Most of you "hate" Intel for some reason.
2snd:
Most of you only own/use/care about tuning an AMD rig.
3rd:
You *must* comprehend that a "smoothness" test ideally will mean identical hardware apart from CPU (motherboard with similar chipset).

Sidenote:
Using a "lappie" with C2D as "proof" even make your arguments even more epic.

When I had S754, S939, S478 and S775 (at the same time), the best benches was on the AMD rigs.
The Intel systems with HT CPU's *appeared* smoother - for me.
Smoother does not mean hourglass/pointer, but switchin/starting apps.

Current rigs (C2D/C2Q/S775 and several AM2\X2 rigs) I cannot see any big difference in "smoothness".
The "worst" rig though is the one I am writing from now.
Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H(RS690/SB600) & X2 6000+.
I will *not* conclude this is related to the CPU/chipset, but a XP install upgraded from S939.
