    page 4 - Science Mark 2; page 5 - Aquamark; page 7 - Winstone 2004; Where are the 3.0Ghz P4 results?
    Why isn't the P4 2.8C included? It's in the same price range.

    Interesting. The charts DO show up in both IE and Firebird when I click through the pages one-by-one, but not when I click the "Print this article" link (which is how I read the articles). Go figure. Thanks for the help Curt.

    I see charts with IE

    This would be a nice article, but I do not see any charts in either IE or Mozilla Firebird. Is anyone else seeing this problem. or is it just me? Or is it that there are no benchmarking charts?

    The article is missing the images, as of 8/2016.
