Issue 158 May Typing error?

Hey guys.

I just have a question about the latest issue of PCF. On page 14, you printed the bench analysis for the 6 cpu's that were tested. Under the "High-end gaming performance" next to "Crysis Warhead" it is printed "Time: Quicker is better". Isn't that supposed to be "Frames per second: Higher is better"?

Nick made reference in the Ed's letter to RC-like behaviour. I assumed ...

That Ed's note was written two months ago. By the time Nick wrote it we still had not gotten legal copies of Windows 7 for our office's PCs

Think of it as printing lag.

The 'Diablo 2 and 6 More' refers to patches. They are on the disc in the patch section. The file name is D2Patch_113c.exe
If the files are not showing up there may be a fault with the disc. If this is the case, please PM me so we can arrange a solution.
