I really need to start reading up on the whole 64 bit thing going on, so this was pretty irrelevant to me, though, a very good article nonetheless.

A point other than the valid ones Ark raised, is there any way that the vid card is capping the procs from their true performance? I'd be very interested to see how the numbers turn out following Arkangyl's suggestions and a better vid card.

EDIT to below (prior to the gracious edit that pointed out my folly and crappiness of reading skills): Dang it, I did read that too. Just misunderterpreted it.
