Now you're just running in oxymoronic circles.

So at least for your PB vs. my G4 it looks like my slightly better GPU makes up for the 2x AGP vs. it's 4x. Your PB has more GPU bus throughput but my GPU has more power.
It's stuff like this I love. Comparing the little subtleties of different hardware in different situations. Love it!.
Cox Orange said:The 5200 is always said to be poorer than the 9550, but on the otherhand it has the bigger graphics Ram.
Yep! Its cool. And we've proved that AGP bus speed does make a difference. So 4X is better than 2X, but as you said your card is good enough to compensate for the lower AGP bus throughput.
But for high specs AGP cards such as my 7800 GS or the too-hard-to-find 7800 GT, better stay away from AGP 2X imo, because although by putting it into AGP 2X it *might* get close to a Radeon 9800 under AGP 4X, you could get so much more power.
I would be curious to see how AGP 8x from the G5's compare to AGP 4x.
Still did not fix your LCS yet?
Funny how people come to conclusions based on nothing but their own delusion.
I base my trust in this benchmark because highly respected Mac organizations that do a lot benchmarks (ie. MacWorld, BareFeats and others) as well as Mac video driver developers do also. People who constantly run benchmarks wouldn't waste their time if they came to the same conclusions as some here.
Consistency in benchmarks is a very good thing and some act like thats bad. Results that are always changing cannot be actuate and certainly not trusted.
Cinebench is more a CPU/GPU combo benchmark and it gives the same results for the same GPU's on different Macs. It's easily one of the highest if not the most respected benchmark in the Mac industry.
You've got to go to the OpenMark menu and select "Run Benchmark" (or hit Command + R)Didn't see any G3 represented. My is a B/W G3/1.1GHz (PowerLogix), 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon9200 PCI. Don't know why no score shows, so I took a screenshot.
