After speaking with this particular seller on the phone, he claims that eBay automatically puts a time limit on when a user can re-bid when a previous auction has been "cancelled." He said to try again in a few days, but I am still banned. He also doesn't reply to my inquiries, particularly my request for his return address in Chinese characters.
I'm now 22 CPUs into this benchmark comparison, which is about 1 CPU/day. I've added a few more socket 3 processors, just for comparison, for example, an Intel DX4-133 (2x66), AMD X5-133/160, POD83/100, and IBM 5x86-100/120/133. High FSBs used whenever possible. I've updated the test matrix, but I have a couple of questions from you guys about the benchmarks.
Do you know the dominant test types for the benchmarks listed below? I have encluded my best guesses, in order of most dominant. Options are ALU, FPU, GPU, RAM throughput (including L2 cache), and PCI BUS. Some of them are obvious, but for others I may need to look at the documentation. My guesses are based loosely on the data tabulated so far. I'd include any of the above noted features if they contribute to 25% or more of the total score.
