Rom, my point is this. So lets say that hwbot bans the use of ES cpu's. Now everybody says oooh....aaahhh the playing field is level now. No it isn't. Intel, AMD/ATI, and Nvidia rely on the results of their hardware to make money. They WILL still sponser people and WILL give them top notch gear. Did you not see the cpuz screenies from when K|ngp|n benched at AMD headquarters? None of those chips said ES. Luckily AMD, Vince, gomeler, and chew* were honest enough to admit these were handpicked retails. You won't always be so lucky.
Why would AMD or Intel not secretly hand out cpu's that are so leaky they can't make it to retail to someone. If they break a record, it boost their sales. I got alot to say about this and not enough time to type it. Will devulge laterz....
