CPU-score in 3DMark03

[Anariah]

Hello, I wonder if someone of you knows anything about the CPU-score that the program 3DMark03 gives me?

Would I get a higher CPU-score in 3DMark03 if I use a fast graphics card like a Radeon 9800 XT instead of my GeForce 3?

slightly higher but nothing as drastic as a actual CPU upgrade.

The cpu scores are just that, cpu scores. they do not depend on the video card.
I get the same scores using 2 different cards, a 9700 pro and a 9600xt both
with 128 mgs of ram. what did increase the scores was a slight cpu overclock.
Other than a cpu upgrade or overclock you won't gain anything.
I would go with a cpu upgrade.
