Ha ha, no he kept making up excuses, and he even reformatted. If we both had FX-53's then maybe his would have beat mine. But ATi's are useless on low-end and mid-end systems, he doesn't have one of the best procs out. Real graphic cards do the graphics processing themselves, they don't need to get the processor to do it for them. Also, mine's a BFG, makes a difference, and the 96 XT's weren't ahead in the first place. If you look at the entire picture, it's not that surpising. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, he insisted on trying multiple benchmarks (however I didn't want to keep going on forever til he found a BM that he could beat me with so I stopped at two, Dacris and 3DMark).
