Athlon64 or Pentium 4

Not to say EVERYTHING is perfect, but name a chipset better than the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16.

There is also a huge bottleneck in in RAM. If they would just put 20 GB of RAM built into the CPU, there would be no latency, and no memory issues either.

I just wanted to point out that the current best will still have flaws. I don;t know what the bottleneck is, since I own an nForce3 chipset, but I do know that it benchmarks in games better than anything else. I try to take benchmarks with a grain of salt, but how else, besides features, am I supposed to gauge something I can't test myself?

I'm just saying that Tom's Hardware is the best site out there for reviews of hardware. Name a better one, I'll try it out. If I actually plan on buying a piece of hardware, I tend to check out more than one or two reviews also...

Who pays them? Notice the Ad's. You think that they will rate Asus better because they buy more ads than everbody else? Nope. I reference the time when they got sick of reviewing Video hardware, and refused to test it until it was available to the private market. Remember when ATi and nVidia were coming out with better and better cards to trump each other every month, but the card never showed on the racks for another 4 to 6 months?

Well, I searched for the article, but I couldn't find it. They changed the website enough that I can't find it anymore. I hate changes like that. I went back to about 2002, but it seems to me that the article came about around the fall of '03 or '04 or something like that.
