    dual channel memory problem?!

    3DMark05

    05 does tests differently than 03. You can't get the score from 05 and compare it to an 03 score. You can only compare your 05 score with other people's 05 scores (or if you have multiple test results...) I just figure that 05 takes into account newer technologies...like the 6-series...

    How would you compare BFG, Leadtek, Gainward?

    I have 3 leadtek products (tv 2000 xp tv tuner card, geforce4 ti4400, and 6600gt) All are quality products. The TI4400 had dual fans, but I never bothered cleaning it out from time to time. Eventually the filter got sucked, and started hitting the fan...I unplugged that fan, and it kept up...
