I only bring it up because it might be a good idea to provide a few more categories like MoBo Brand and Model, RAM type etc.  Then they could get a much broader look at what other systems are configured as, and how they perform.  Just make them text entry fields so people can just write in their details, or simply put a comment box people can use when they enter their system data for the database.  The thing is that if I were to put in my wife's system and mine, they would look exactly the same in the database, but they would have a very different speed value.  That could confuse people, buy putting something in, so specific info about the systems is available,  would lessen the confusion and give them an idea of how best to configure a system they may be planning to build.  In short, it would make it much more useful.  Without it, you could have a situation where the user can't get any info which would be of use.  For instance.  My system smoked most of the systems listed, although there were only a few.  However, my wife's system was smoked by most of those systems.  Since they are both AMD, using the same processor, and the same amount of RAM, how would a user, at seeing this, differentiate the two AMD machines when they look the same in the Database but have very different test scores?  If he could tell what is Different about them, then he could see why the scores differ so much.

Quote - Sparrow its almost impossible to cover all components... this is only an aproximation. The good idea is that all this data is posted in the site, so we can see this problem and maybe Joe can do something in the future to update the data base with more information from system.
