Yes that was an Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference in my topic summary but my question still remains that shall be asked in the upcoming paragraph.
First my system specs:
CPU = AMD Barton XP2800+ OC'd to 3200+ speeds
Mobo = Asus A7N8X delux
RAM = 1024mb of Mushkin value DDR400
GPU = eVGA 6800 GT stock speeds with 71.24 Forceware drivers
Sound Card = Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 ( not that 3d mark guages this in tests)
Keyboard = OK this is getting tedious; on to my query.
I scored 4700 with change on 3dmark05 version 1.1. Is that normal? This test brought my rig to it's knees through parts of it as it crept along at 1 fps on the what I assume were intesive sections.
Now I was thinking of upgrading to an AMD Athlon 64 ( 3500+ 939) with most likely an Asus bran mobo this summer. If these tests are normal for the hardware I have now than I'm going to scrape together what money I have and visit New Egg and ZipZoomFly.
