    just by going from the cat 4.10's to 4.11's and updating my nforce drivers to 5.10's my aqua score went from 43675 to 49209. The only other difference that I can think of is the wmv acceleration and the quick res disabled.

    xp3000+@2400/400
    9800pro@440/380

    Catalyst 4.11's (from 4.10) gave me an extra 2000 marks and an extra 2 fps.

    I would say the low score is because of the graphics card ...I've never heard of a 9100 though ...maybe someone else has a better opinion? :scratch:

    Well my 8500LE smokes a 9200SE so I supposed the 9100 is even worse.

    mmonnin: the 9100 is better than the 9200 series by far

    maximusbad: depends on your budget

    Ok, well, I don't want to drag this thread too far off topic; start another thread if you've got more questions :) but if you've got ~$300, you really should get a GeForce 6800. I know it's a bit more than you wanted to spend, but it's significantly (like 2x) faster than anything you can get for <$200

    For ~$200, get a 256-bit (NOT THE SAME AS 256MB) Radeon 9800 Pro

    Some 9800 Pros automatically recongnize as 9800 XTs which is pretty awesome!

    ok thnx for your help i was looking at the sapphire radeon 9800pro, what ya think? :D

    As long as it has a 256-bit memory interface, it's fine. But, like I said, the 6800s are ~2x faster.

    is there a big performance differance in 128-bit and 256-bit?

    Considering the new hardware out and that more people are making the transition to 64 this thread should be good for at least another year and a half. :cool:

    Which CPU did you get and what are you running it at.

    Close to 80K with a couple of $150 cards isn't to bad i think. I'll see if i can get some more out of it.

    Its a week 50 Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester). I had it running at 2.7GHz with TCCD @ 270 2.5-4-4-7. Its a good chip, however the memory controller in it is weak. It will do about 2.75GHz stable, but only with high multipliers, and loose timings. I can do about 2.45GHz with the TCCD @ 305MHz 1T memtest stable for hours, but I get about the same bandwidth at 2.7 with the memory backed off..

    I think it is great bang for the buck! Pretty much 6800GT performance for $299.00 or slightly less than what a 6800 (regular) would cost and quite better than that. So for an old fart like me, I like it and it fill the space well for now. ;)
