This sounds like a great idea. It will be a lot more convinient to browse than the benchmark thread. The only problem I can think of is what will we do when 2 machines with the same chip post different times? Will we list them both?

BTW: Wikipedia is teh awesome.

If we have two benchmarks for identical chips but different memory, I think we should list both. My idea is that the same should apply for different systemboards, different overclocking settings and different MPrime/Prime95 versions. If we have identical chips, identical memory/systemboard/overclocking and identical anything else, we don't need to list it twice; we can just list the fastest benchmark.

We (I?) could program a wiki extension in php to let users complete a "wiki-form" for their systems... A page will be displayed to them asking for CPU type, Memory, OS, etc, and some text input areas next to each item. The user will give us a summary of the benchmarked system in this way.

And in the benchmark table we could click on a particular benchmark to see the exact system characteristics of the benchmarked system.

There is a benchmark system in the works... I'll ask the guy working on it to post here...
