the issue is not that it hold the information, the issue is that few people enter the information, and oif those many don’t enter it correctly.
For example, under processor type in the top 10 only 6 people enter information, and three of those are incorrect information, such as motherboard, or operating system. Not very useful in the end, unless people enter correct information.

Your times are out of whack, most likely because you are using RC2.
You must you RC3 for this benchmark.
shame 
The IT guys here were telling me they spoke with AMD about new mobos that will keep the same processor/chipset architecture for the next ten years. (hard to believe) Our next server is a quad dualcore Opteron that will accept 4, 8, and 16 core processors as they come available soon…
Wow Daforce - thanks for taking the test for me. I guess that means we should upgrade our computers… 
Yeah.. only 1 1/2 years old and already getting raped… errr.. the CPU’s that is.
yes…yes you did…
Thought some of you might be interested - without mentioning any names (they can feel free to post here), the Intel Quad QX6700 clocked in this benchmark around 3:14. This means that the dual Intel Xeon 5160s (retailing around $800-$900/each) still outpace the new Quad model by roughly 40s.
Yes yes, to be expected. Would like to see a new Xeon 5320 system with dual core2 Quad do this one. Any have a dual quad core Xeon laying around for rendering purposses ? I should think that they would be around two times faster than the 5160 xeons, depending on the model and memory used.
I think individually-speaking, they have lower Mhz. Still, a dual 5320 with 8 buckets is going to beat a dual 5160 with 4 buckets.
So a dual 5350 (2.66 quad) should benchmark around 1m 17s - just guessing here…

interesting rc2 benched almost 40 seconds faster? I did notice some light bleed in the rc2 version…The ceiling is darker due to recompression in photoshop…
Yeah dont use RC2 for this test, the 1 other chap that used it got a much faster render time too.
Hence it says RC3 
Nice shaders in the scene!
Well my old pecision 670 with 2 x 3.0ghz xeons just managed 8m 25s… But, it’s great to know that 2 years have improved speed up to 4 times better.
Well exsqeeeeeeze me for using RC4

cool test btw
Okay, now I win…
Anyway, since I started showing these to the bosses, they’re finally upgrading my computer - my old 3.2 ghz P4 EE is getting a minor upgrade to a dual 5345 (or whatever Intel’s calling the 2.33 ghz quad cores) so once I get that I’ll run the bench and see what the improvement is… I expect it will render a bit faster, but that’s just a hunch.
Last one. 16m49s
i’m shame with my computer. We wil have to upgrade them fast. 16m49s Intel Dualmodel 4 3gb Ram.

realy nice benchmark test. Exterior Scene could be usefull
thanks a lot for this interior benchmark test.
Can we have one for exterior scene ???
