No problem. Remove my entries from the charts. Thanks.Originally Posted by Particle
Edit: Thanks for removing my entries. This is your game and we need to play by your rules and I respect that. However, 20 passes of LinX combined with 6 instance of MemTest For Windows (500% coverage minimum), 45 loops of both FarCry2 and Warhead along with all the other benches I normally post show me more for stability then 8 hours of Prime ever will.

I didn't know you'd done all of that. I just saw a LinX shot showing 45 minutes. I'll happily accept those qualifications if you want to go back up on the chart. Please excuse me as I know I may seem the villain at times--I just want to make sure that "stable" on the chart is a reliable reference. A lot of people (not necessarily you) will claim stability if they merely manage to load Windows. It's my hope to provide a bit more statistical validity than that so that a person may look at the chart and get a real idea where their chances lie.
I'm glad you like them. I actually took the time to write some software that generates generic charts like that with this (and a few other) projects in mind. It's dynamic and auto-sizing which makes it nice. I also wrote some custom management software for the charts that generates images in batch and uploads them to the website. That's why chart updates are so responsive. I just edit values and click a button to make this thread up to date. It's much less work than maintainers in the past have had to do.great scoreboards BTW very clean looking unluckily my droid hates them

Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
