  • So now you know all you've ever wanted to know about the Thunderbird but were afraid to ask. The next thing is to give you the rest of the drill with the customary benchmarks. It'll be a little different this time around because we're introducing Windows 2000 to our suite from this day forth. We've messed around with it long enough now to realize that if you're a corporate user, 2000 is the way to go. Not forgetting our gaming needs however, we've still got some good ‘ol gaming benchmarks for you on Windows 98. Either way, whichever OS you're using (we like to use both now for various things) you'll now know what you're likely going to get with an AMD Athlon 1.1GHz “Thunderbird”.
