New system (if only...)

Craig Venom · November 29th, 2002

Let's say that if you have a very powerful system likes :

Dual Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz
3 - 4 Gb RDRAM
4x 120 GB HDD 10,000 Rpm on raid 0
Audigy 2 SB
40 inch monitor
Geforce FX or higher

After running some 3d mark 2xxx, guess what would the score be?

Kid A · November 29th, 2002

Umm... a freakin high number?? I heard WinXP can't run faster than 1,7 GHz... I thought this to be a major stupidity, can anyone confirm it?

3DMark isn't Dual processor optimised. Neither are pretty much any games out there.

3 - 4 Gb RDRAM

More than 384Mb RAM you don't notice much if any difference in any app, let alone 3DMark.

4x 120 GB HDD 10,000 Rpm on raid 0

Faster HDD will have little or no effect in games/ 3DMark. 160Gbs is just about enough for me anyway. RAID 5 is much better anyway. If one drive fails, the RAID will still survive.

Audigy 2 SB

Won't increase the score at all. No need unless you have a 6.1 sound system. 5.1 is more than adequete.

40 inch monitor

Not gonna effect scores..... Although it would be nice.

Quote:

Geforce FX or higher

So I'm gonna have some vapourware in my machine then. IT'S NOT OUT YET!

XP runs with CPUs well over 1.7 Ghz. I don't know where you got that information.

Since you say 2XXX I am assuming you mean 2999,The score will be around 0.0000001

Craig Venom · November 30th, 2002

I, too, am currently running WIN XP Pro on my Desktop PC's Athlon XP 2000+ CPU and also on my Toshiba Laptop's P4 2.5 ghz CPU. It works fine w/both of them.

**Kane** · December 1st, 2002

I set up a lot of 2GHz+ P4 machines on XP and they worked fine.

uv forgot to mae it a flat panel monitor with touch screen. :0

Mr Urt · December 5th, 2002

the "Dual Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz" is vaporware too, so I'd say the machine would get 0, cuz it wouldn't be able to function on vapor

metal_ash · December 5th, 2002

what with the vapor?

**Kane** · December 5th, 2002

vapurware = Doesn't exist.

Eh? What do you mean? Do you mean the processor or the dual-CPU setup?
