I've just come across some utterly ridiculous web pages which contain
"benchmarks" of various PC cards.

They use the Gemini re2stone rating with no quality metric and
resolution going up and down like a Yo-Yo. This seems to me
like a moronic test which measures nothing usefull, except
perhaps the testers stupidity.

I'd like to take a straw pole.

Has anyone else encountered this benchmark?
Has anyone seen this benchmark taken seriously?
Has anyone seen this benchmark abused in a flagrant manner?

Cheers,Angus.
