well the computer works and you get great 3dmark scores.
Have you overclocked that super fab trendy georgous graphics card yet. You should be able to breach 6000 in 3dmark05. espeicailly with that CPU and loads of RAM etc.
Allgamer you have still got some headroom there with the same system but only 1 gig of ram ( I can't believe I said only)and normal sata hdd I get around 6200, enjoy.
hmm... i'm having trouble optimizing the RAM, everytime i try to do anything it starts to behave erradicallly.... i guess i'll have to either choose OC RAM or OC CPU, but not both
Just got an Aquagate Water Cooler for my AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Newcastle. I was able to squeeze 300MHz more out of it before my system grew unstable. I was able to post at 3.1GHz. But now it is sitting at 2.9GHz heavy load around 55-60C and very happy w/ it now.
NOW. When I benchmarked it I got 27863. That was the most I ever got out of oc'ing.
I'm looking at upgrading parts quite soon.. my old geforce 256 ddr 32mb card gave me problems and so I got the Geforce 3ti500 on ebay for £15 (about £20 inc P&P).
I think my next step is an Athlon 64 at least 3000 and 512mb PC3200.
Gonna have to save up for funds though!
I ran 3DMark 2003 once and got about 800 and something but I think that was with my old card (the Geforce 256 DDR) Will run again and post in the other thread..
Just ran 2003 on build 3.1 (not sure if it's the latest? got it from an old cover disk - file's too big to download)
I got 797 - seems low but then again my geforce wan't built for Direct X 9.
I did have a prob with the last test (sound test 3) where it froze after a few frames. Had to escape but still managed to get my score. (This happened last time, my bruv thinks its to do with my sound card SB audigy LS which has switched on this option as his PC doesn't enable this option)
