I have no clue about the other scores but the Super Pi one seems quite good.

On my family PC, XP2400+ with 256mb of DDR333 I get 1min 20sec. The motherboard does have integrated graphics though, so it sucks..

Well I didn't realy see the point in getting DDR 400, But I'm doing a big upgrade next month I'm getting a

P4 3.0Ghz
512DDR 400 (samsung)
120 gig seagate Barracuda S-ATA

EDIT: well it's not that big but a bit of a jump from what I have now

Well Super Pi benefits mainly from high CPU and RAM clock speeds, from what I've heard.

Hey ADV4NCED like the_nominator said I'm using omega drivers and I OC for benchmarking. Theres one problem with the 9800SE that is you need one with 8 working pipelines. When they make the 9800se cards is you have to get one with all 8 pipelines working.

Hi Rikkelz,
Ok, 1stly, I need to know your memory timings? Your score seem ok if you are running something like 2.5-3-3-8 timings, at 3.0gig speeds.

What brand mem you using?

With better mem, it will easily drop to 45 or better......

Cheapo ram... I have CPUZ, how can I tell my timings from the cache latency thingie on the about tab? I dont have an extremely good mobo either, but my CPU is fine...

BTW. Well done on having such a sexy pc in the PCF, damn that thing is cooooool... Well Done!
