thx a lot for the offer on those benchmarks but I probably won't be making the trade since I'm gonna give my sister my pc. but it's a good thorough benchmark (albeit a large file) anyways. I'd still like to see the difference between these two chips for curiosity reasons but it maybe too much trouble just to satisfy my curiosity. anyways good luck in school if you're on the quarter system like us midterms are coming up this week or next so you should be studying and not benchmarks. thx
