That's great, but my point was that if the machine is going to be deployed as a mail or web server, those are the types of loads you want to benchmark with. For a CPU like the AMD FX-8120 I know I'd personally be more interested in seeing how it scales when handling multiple web server VMs than video transcoding. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
