PMJY, but… first of all, if you are so certain of JDR's quility and have sold over 500 of them, why do you ask us, mere mortals? Second, what defines the speed of loading up Windows is hard disk and hard disk controller. Even a Cray would take longer to load Windows using a el cheapo HD+HDC (if such a thing could be done. Windows would probably bend the Cray so out of shape that the poor Cray would refuse to ever boot again). That's just not the right benchmark procedure for testing CPU speed. The rendering test you proposed is the right approach. As to everything else being junk… ain't that kinda presumptuous if not just plain haughty?
