    I had noticed that 3dmark06;s fastest system had a E8500 processor and my mobile processor was faster in the CPU test. Look at the Return to Proxycon score lol. Must be some kind of a hack or loophole in the program right?

    It makes sense to me. Think about it for a bit.

    Edit: I see now, you're green.

    Anyway, I think it's fairly sensible (your score) but not his...I think...who knows...

    OK, I'll explain it. The E8500 system beats you on GPU because it has a much better video card.

    You beat the E8500 on CPU because you have a quad-core and it is obviously a dual core. 4>2.

    I am not trying to compare my system to the fastest desktop(not that this one is) I am just trying to say there is something wrong with the Return to Proxycon score--other gtx295 desktops do not get anywhere near that score and they have i7's overclocked to 4ghz with multiple gtx295's this guy doesn't even have sli. I'm not even mentioning other components commonly found in "the fastest" systems like multiple ssd's connected with expensive RAID controllers. This guy has a 5400rpm HDD.

    You should probably mention that in the original post. Lol @ 5400rpm drive.

    For anyone who's interested in looking, here's a link:

    Its actually a hack that can be done in any benchmark, I'm not gonna say how its done but I've done it before only my score was abnormally high so it didn't look real.

    Hahaha.. Hmm man why do people really care if their Pc is faster or not than others... Well okay people might, but yes forcing the program to send an abnormally high score is kinda sad. I don't think the bloke even got 15mins of fame for his efforts.. Oh well
