Ugh... Had two PCs with the exact same spec (CPU, motherboard, RAM same product number, etc.), all same versions of Linux, firmware. Had 15% in performance difference between the 2 gears. Turned out to be some bios tuning, not really related to performance. 15%...

I would say that if it make 15% difference it _was_ related to performance... It might not have been an option on a screen specifically stated as being performance related options, but that could just be a bad menu layout.

I'd be interested to know what the option was, if you have any specific memory of that?
