    You have to try AquaMark, it's a great benchmark program: http://www.aquamark3.com/

      My system:

      Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe
      P4 3.0 OC'd to 3.3
      1GB(2 sticks) OCZ 3700 gold Rev 2 (set at stock 2.5-3-3-7)
      ATI 9800 pro
      WD 74GB 10,000RPM Rator Sata
      Lite on 4XDVD/CD burner.
      SB audigy 5.1
      Logitech 5.1 speakers
      21" CRT

      Haven't run 3d mark yet, been tuning the other parts of the system since the build two weeks ago.
      Do have a PCMark score of 5076 (video has the weakest score).

      Guess I could run that, but it is very dependent on the video card and not much else, right?
      Plus I still need to figure out how much I can OC the video card. I DL'd aittool and powerstrip, just start playing with atitool last night.
      We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

        I have the Hercules version and they send you a utility with the card.

        I can't really be bothered........I know I could up my score my pushing the FSB to 175 or so and playing with the card's settings, but there isn't much point when you can play everything maxed out.

        That system is beasty............get 3dMark03 and see what you get. Should be top one yet.

                  $1800CDN, or about $1400US. Mind you, it'd be cheaper now: the Athlon 64 3200+ has dropped in price, as have the 9800 Pros.

                  It would've been cheaper if I didn't build a virtually silent system, also. Antec Sonata case, Zalman solid-copper 750g CPU cooler (20dB), Zalman VGA heatpipe kit with noiseless fan (20dB), etc.

                    After seeing the Seagates I knew you weren't skimping on silence (when does silence cost a fortune? When you're building a computer ). I made the mistake of buying a WD Caviar 120... it's eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all day long. Getting a Samsung after Austria.
                    P.S. is it the 256MB Radeon ?

                      having 256 MB is useless right now.

                          The real nuts have the XT.

                            Why would you buy an XT when a 9800 Pro with good cooling hits the same speeds for hundreds of dollars less?

                            And it's only 128MB, the 256MB's DDR2 doesn't overclock as well.

                            I plan on upgrading to the R450-based cards at the end of the year or so, then I'll go for 256.

                              I'm just waiting for the BTX kit to come out and mature (maybe a month or so? ). Then it's new pc time again!

                                I'll hang onto my Radeon 9500 until PCI express is stable.
                                If it takes too long, I'll consider upgrading to a value-card in two years or so.
