is a 3dMark2k1 score of 7489 good for a p4 1.9 gf3ti500?

[MikeMike]

? sum overclocking not much on the gpu only like 10 mhz on ram and engine

is it good for a dell?

i think a faculty member in the school i work wants a price quote on a dell like urs (1.9ghz p4 & gf3 ti500). i wonder if it will make her email faster.

what if she plays RTCW? or Max Payne? you dont know that she needs that ti500 for email.

well it was up there bout 26-28 not sure what my parents actually paid but my mom got a 10% off from her work from the previous prices that also included a 19in fd trini and 24X burn and 16Xdvd(lite-on) 80 gb 512mb

well, they have scores you can compare yourself with on their website. i suggest you look there...

me=lazy where the link?

 

[gopunk]

me also lazy.

should show up in the program after you run the test. probably the same site you got the proggy from.

Have you oc'ed the Ti500? I'm am able to get +9100 3dmarks on the default benchmark with my Athlon XP and oc'ed Ti500.

u've got a good point. but being that she's like 85 y/o... she could die....

Hmm, you said your computer has 512mb ram (I thik that's what the 512 in the end of your post means), is it pc133 or rd-ram(rambus)?
I haven't seen any machine with that much rd-ram since it's still very costly, and if it's pc133 ram that could be the reason since the P4 is very dependent on memorybandwith, thus running it with pc133 ram would be like having a fast car but only using the first two gears.
I've heard that a P4 1,7 with pc133 ram actually isn't faster than a 1,0Ghz P3 (also with pc133 ram, but it's designed for lower memorybandwith so it doesn't matter), but I don't know if this exapmle is correct.

Well, it's actually something like subtract about 300mhz from the speed of your cpu to compare it to a P4 system using PC800 RDRAM. So if your 1.7ghz P4 is using PC133 SDRAM, then it will perform the same as a 1.4ghz P4 using RDRAM.

Easiest way is just to post it up on MadOnion and use their compare feature.
