It can indeed be problematic to compare the output of various benchmarks - these might be nothing more than meaningless metrics. However, it's still fun to see bars and numbers appearing on your VGA screen and on the internet, and to try and compare them anyway. Phil's [DOS Benchmark Pack](https://www.philscomputerlab.com/dos-benchmark-pack.html) was used to carry out most of these.

The first thing to note here is the power of the Turbo button! Without these wires jumpered on the motherboard (and the button enabled), the overall power of your PC drops by almost two thirds or `66%`. Also, the DX2, which has a `40%` faster CPU in terms of raw power, only speeds up about `13.5%` for this 3D test. Still, it tops the "magic" 30 FPS limit!

The small performance gain trend continues. I must admit that I am a bit disappointed, although I do realise that these benchmarks are usually VGA-intensitive. Since older games are software-accelerated, I hoped simply swapping out the CPU would net a bigger speed increase.

Since I'm running `EMM386.EXE` with the extended `RAM` switch, `/p` was needed to force execution of the tests. The Topbench marks are missing from Phil's sheet. I had high hopes for this test as it's a general score that totals performance (MemTest, MemEA, Opcodes, VidMem, 3DGames). Sadly, the DX2-66 only gave a boost of about `10%`. It might again prove that the old motherboard is not up to snuff. Trying to force the motherboard bus speed into a CPU`/3` rate in the BIOS settings instead of the auto-detected `/4` does not change anything in various benchmarks I re-ran. Same thing with `UNIVBE` VESA 2 drivers. The cache writeback wait state is set on `2`, and a setting of `0` refuses to boot.

According to hardware reviews such as [Guru 3D](https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/x_fi_xtreme_music_sound_blaster_review,1.html), the fast `EMU20K1` chip should even give a graphics performance boost: less work for your CPU to be done. However, I measured FPS on multiple games, and I could not see a substantial fluctuation between normal (embedded) audio or hardware-enabled (X-Fi) audio. That might be because my system is already quite powerful for a 2005 computer, or because the Realtek chip does the job good enough, or because the games are programmed the way they are.

The real gain is proper EAX support, superior IN/OUT ports, bass boost, virtual 3D audio stuff, etc ... The card software even lets you choose something called "_Sound Banks_" for MIDI synthesizing if that's your thing or if you plan to emulate an ISA Sound Blaster card in Win9x compatibility mode:

The theory on why society does not object to bullshit jobs is also worth looking at. According to Graeber, social value and pay are inversely correlated: hospital cleaners and garbage collectors contribute to our social structure, but barely get paid anything, while corporate lawyers effectively hurt our social culture, and get a paid royal amount for doing so. There seem to be papers on the discussion of jobs and their (perceived?) social value, of which a few are referenced in the book.
