New System Benchmarked! Lots of Benchmarks!

[MichaelD]

Hooray! I finally got around to benchmarking the new rig. Good Lord; Winbench99 takes a L-O-N-G time to run...and half the tests are useless....but anyway, here's the system config and some notes, then benchmarks.

System Config

CPU: Athlon 1800XP
Mobo: Shuttle AV35GTR
Memory: 512mb Micron (Crucial) PC2100 (two 256mb sticks)
Disks: Two Maxtor DM+ 40GB running RAID 0
Video Card: VisionTek GF3
Video Card Driver: 23.11 Dets' straight from NVidia
Soundcard: Creative X-Gamer MP3
OS: W2K SP2 w/all updates

Notes

No overclock on CPU, FSB, Memorybus or Videocard
Only memory tweaks are set to CAS2 in the BIOS and enable 4-way interleave. Left command settings alone b/c I don't know what I'm doing w/those yet.
Norton AV disabled. MBM5 disabled.

If I knew how to run the Serious Sam benchmark, I'd have done that too. I'm very happy with my new rig. It's much faster than my old 1GHz Athlon B/KT7R setup. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Oh, that´s a system (an AMD, the only one). I really would like to have the money to buy such things... but i wouldn´t like to live in EEUU.

You 3d marks seem kind of low, I have a 1700+ @ 1550mhz and I get 8026

His 3DMark score are just fine. For a totally stock setup without any tweaking, that is good.

What does EEUU mean?

That's what I'd like to know.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments! I sure waited long enough to go DDR

I"ve wondered how much performance I'd gain my tweaking those "Command Timing Memory Settings" in the Bios...anyone know?

Congrats on your new setup

Now go get yourself Wolfenstein or Medal Of Honor and start enjoying that new power

MCS, my buddy! Thanks for the kind words. Actually, I already have both. I can't get past the Omaha beach scene. I'm at the final battle of RTCW and can't beat that either. I suck. LOL!

My new setup:

P4 1.6A @ 2.4
P4B266
256 MB PC2100 generic ram (Infineon chips)
VisionTek Geforce3 Ti200 (220/500 - using coolbits)
Windows XP Pro
Detonator 21.83 (windows update)

I get 8033 in 3DMark2001SE. Default benchmark. Haven't changed any settings other than CPU and vid overclock.

Hehe, I am the other way round, I have hardly got anywhere with RTCW but I have completed MOH! I thought MOH was the better game but both look great

Ah, OK. Thanks, ScoobyDooby. I guess he's just jealous...I work two jobs to support my PC habit. I wonder if he knows that? Oh well, my life is not severely affected by his comment.

Thanx Z24. I was going to try the Intel 1.6a@2.4 with GF3, but from your results I needn't bother!

K7S5A + XP1700@1.53 + R8500@290 = 8557 at default.

 

[Z24]

tenoc, I would venture a guess that our scores are videocard related. I got huge increases in my scores when I bumped the videocard speed. 175/400 (default) - 6774, 200/460 - 7557, 220/500 - 8033.

How does a Radeon 8500 compare to a GF3 typically?
