Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

An oldie but a goodie, Enemy Territory is still played quite a bit and makes for a great CPU test as today's GPUs can easily handle the rendering load of the Quake 3 based game.

The Sims 2

While a clear departure from our usual game tests, The Sims 2 is more popular than any of the other games we've featured here in certain crowds - it is effectively the Doom 3 of those who prefer life-simulation to first person shooters. And interestingly enough, it makes for a very impressive CPU benchmark.

    Same old same old...

    It's the same old thing man...Intel releases their "new" chip clocked at "whatever speed" with "whatever features" and AMD continues to dominate and stay on top. I don't even have to say anything to back this up...the benchmarks say all.......go look!

    Go buy a 90nm S939 A64 and be happy you've just bought the best chip on the market.

    ahh the last fastest pentium 4 these could run at 4 or MAYBE close to 4.5 5ghz would require nitrogen cooling
