Ok guys, got the new system up and running! :D

[warcrow]

Ok guys, got the parts in and just finished building the rig 2 days ago. Here are the parts:

1 GB PC3200 (2X512) Dual Channel
Athlon 64 3500+
Asus A8V Deluxe

My old system was:
- Athlon 2800XP
- 1GB of PC2700 Kingston Value RAM
- 6800 Ultra (Needless to say, I carried the VC over to this new rig.)


As you can see, I've added my stats from 3Dmark from the new build. I know that the benchmark is highly GPU dependant, but I must admit that I was expecting a better showing from the Athlon 64. Does this look correct guys?


3DMark03
Athlon 2800 XP @ 2005 MHz + 1GB PC2700 + 6800 Ultra = 11515

Athlon64 3500 @ 2203 MHz + 1GB PC3200 + 6800 Ultra = 12192


3DMark05
Athlon 2800 XP @ 1976 MHz + 1GB PC2700 + 6800 Ultra = 4200

Athlon64 3500 @ 2203 MHz + 1GB PC3200 + 6800 Ultra = 5127

I would also like to check out some other benches to run, any suggestions? Is SiSoft Sandra still good?

:beer: Cheers mate

Hope you enjoy every gaming moment with it.

As for your question I find these scores perfectly normal.
3Dmark 03 and 05 are highly gpu limited and you can see that by just o/cing your Ultra.
Test with Aquamark3 or game benches to see the real difference...
