you know about this as well as you went out of your way to point out to me in Taiwan that Intel SSD drives you were using for W.R.s in final stages of competition are readily available at newegg to purchase which is fair enough...not that i really saw that as an issue..... new gen CPU or GFX different story

i thought that GFX guys used to wait till NDA is up and it's official announced and out for this kinda of claim.....i guess CPU is the other important one here...rest who cares...... if sampsa posted and claimed a W.R. on a DDR3 based AMD CPU i would say the same thing
My thinking is that records are records.
I had this discussion before and used this analogy;
The standing track record at Talledega raceway is owned by Mercedes Benz with their factory one of a kind C-111.
You and I can't buy it no matter how much money we have but the record stands.
IBM I beleive holds the record with their Blue Genie as the top supercomputer.. Also something that is unbuyable.
The approved driver issue I understand but hardware is different and as Charles mentioned, there are others that have these chips.
