Long story short.....this Power Cable(named belut), provided a 3DMark 2003 score equivalent to a 1.8GHz machine WITH A PII 433(i think). shoul it provide a boost to my PC? if i buy it and it does, i will be taking orders from PCMECHers.lol

Please read the guidelines for the hardware review forum before posting in it.

I'm moving it to General Discussion because it's an April Fool's joke - note the date on the article.

Do youthink this is really a April Fools joke?. i dont. Just wondering if there ever was such a cable. It would have been/is cool.

Absolutely positive. The whole article is a joke. Read some of the linked articles at the bottom - those are all April Fools jokes too. Someone at that site is very creative.

Could be Cricket. I paid well over $6,000 for my first IBM in 1987 or 1988 with a very small hard drive that was at the time the largest IBM offered. They marketed it as a minframe computer. With DOS apps it really did fly. Probably faster than anything I own today although there were no graphics to speak of.

It literally was the best computer I have ever owned.
