Cruez - nice system but it could be higher 'score wise'. I would toss the MSI FX5600 128 mb for an ATI 9600 Pro or 9800 Non Pro.

Then watch those scores fly.....

You should be in 12000 range for 2k1 with that card and 3000 range for 2k3 if it's compairable to the 9600 pro (which I am not sure it is).

Other than that, looks like you have a nice system!!!!

Thanks sweeper..

I've heard alot of people mentioning that about the video card...

I mainly wanted a decent midpriced card with Video in / video out for capturing broadcast video... I have the firewire, but that is for pulling off the dig vid cam.

Not that I'm unhappy with it, but when I upgrade next time, it will probably be an ATI card.

I'm sure the system is not optimized yet either.... I am running the latest driver at nvidia's site...and no tweaking done yet..

Just my first benchmarks

Yeah, IMO Nvidia sorta blew it with there mid range cards (performance wise). ATI has taken the lead with the 9500's 9600's and the 9800 series..

well, with some (temporary) tweaking...running 58 C

3d 2k1 se 12900...still kinda low...can't seem to break 13000
3d 2k3 3600... still low....
PC mark 2k4 4012 pretty good, only benchmark i get decent numbers on....not sure why?

1.7 cpu volts...even at 1.8, no difference....1.7 keeps cpu cooler
2.7 mem volts
1.7 agp volts (unstable at times)

202X11 FSB Athlon xp 2500 ....2.223 cpu
Radeon 9600 Pro 128 460 core/360 mem
512 DDR 2700 333 spec tek (2X256) DC
MSI K7N2 Delta L series nforce 2 400 edition

maybe in future by some better MEM, DDR 3200 1 gig sounds nice......would boost #'s I've been told....
