Well having looked at the rest of the posts, so far its only myself and Nick in the leet 5000 + club then, salt, wounds rub Si :D :D

Now if I get rid of this ancient clunker of a coal burning A7V and get that nForce 2 this weekend, Mmmmm, even Nick might be within my grasp :)

/me pats his ickle 2.4 Ath, lol.

ooops, 2 posts, damn slow isp again :)

downloading 3D Mark 2003 now.. will post results

anyone have a link to 2001?

No Radeon :p

5000, 5000, 5000 :D

What did you get on 2k1 ?

Don't make me get my tweaking toolkit out!

;)

Cem

Im still 16k+ on 2k1.

once i get my XMS3500 im off higher clock speed :D:D

downloading 2001 and one now from http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark2001.shtml

Will post results.. though no expecting much just a standard off the shelf machine.

Jye, I can go higher on the cpu and actually overclock my card, so you had better try for 6000, as my score is running 24/7 speed with no ram tweaks/ max stable cpu speed or any other malarkey :)

/me lays down the gauntlet ;)

3DMark2001 = 13545
3DMark2003 = 4704

in a Shuttle.

But is that good?

My moneys firmly on nicks :D

easy

--me lays down the gauntlet--

/me runs away very quickly :D

Yeah, I know OC'ing a 9700 Pro is a sure way to get good scores in 2003. I still want an nForce 2 though :)

Si, not sure what my 2001 speed is, I'll test it when I get the time. And Nick this is my 'old' machine, which is now my MP3 server and firewall. Im building something very 'tasty' for Doom 3 coming out. Will keep you informed :D

Hehe, it's been a good month since my last upgrade. Getting withdrawls but still getting back on track financially after building the last monster. I think about August time will be the next upgrade. Hell, I might, might just go back to AMD, depending on how their new chips pan out.

Nick :)

The race is on :D

Know what you mean about finances, its a bit of a killer upgrading perectly good kit with nothing but benchmark scores to show where all your cash has gone. Thats why I'm going to hold off finalising my latest machine till nearer D3 time. Perhaps I might even afford a holiday this year and by then I will have managed to hamster away enough cash without the GF killing me :D

Im watching canterwood :D

My next ones going to be a prescott :D

Si

Most people are sensible enough not to race me.:)

Hey, If Si's the Jocky and Nick the horse, Im for all my wages on 'ME' :D :D

its only 3000 points between you and me :p except you needed 2 cpus to beat me pmsl ;)

Like I said, Don't challenge me to a race. I will win. That is all :D

Keep bloody Si well away from me, don't you dare tar me with the same brush.

Yeah, i know what im doing ;)

Dont see my frying a cpu :eek:

3DMark2001 = 12428
3DMark2003 = 4514

Just an off the shelf compaq evo spacesaver (D51s) p4 2.26mhz, 768mb, and an ati 9700 pro (128mb).

You really are a f*cking saddo aren't you. You know exactly what happened and that it was absolutely no fault of my own whatsoever.
Hell, at least I can actually build a system that works properly first time and don't go off blaming every manufacturer of my bits when I completely bork it.
You don't have the skills required for using a spanner, let alone building phase change cooling systems when you barely understand the BIOS and how to sensibly test things. You don't listen properly when asking for advice, butcher things half to death and generally are a muppet.

That chip kill thing was the first and last time that I ever, ever take anyone else's advice bar my own.

Sorry, about time I got that off my chest.

Nick.

What is even scarier is that you think that you are good enough at this game to give others advice now! :eek::eek:

Maybe its, just the fact you arent as good as you always make out.

But then again your just so perfect, you never consider that option.

Well I really don't know of many better than me and at least I pride myself on what I know, how well I do things and attention to detail. I know only too well if/when I do something wrong and that is the difference between you and me. You get stuck upto your neck in something you don't understand and then try blaming everything around you. Bad workman and all that. Why exactly do you think that I have blocked you yet again from Messanger?
You jump in to things far too quickly and need to severely STFW and RTFM more.

Nick.

****, chill lads, wish I hadnt opened my gub now. I thought you two were both m8's :(

--Why exactly do you think that I have blocked you yet again from Messanger--

Now that you say, I thought that was only me who had done that to Si, hehe ;)

LOL, take it easy Nick, It was your very self who told me to lay off Si a few months ago when I questioned his 'skills' as a modder and OC'er. BTW, I think everyone knows who's opinion is worth asking on the PC building front ;)

Not really mates. Most people tolerate him more than all out like hime. He has his moments where he is perfectly fine to talk to then other moments where you just want to shoot him. I put it down to his 'Roid rage' personally :p
