3DMARK03, post your scores here =)

Nav, I the lack of difference in your scores suggest that 3Dmark's game simulations do not require 512 megs of (non video) memory, so there was no reason for your cache to have to call loads from your hard disk.

Since 512 ram was enough, any extra is not going to make much of a difference on your score.

Put 4 gigs of ram in your computer and you will still not see a difference.

Nah, it can only handle 3 gigs. Sheeeeiiit.

See there is one issue with compairing marks at this point still.

3D MARK 03 does not say what you video card settings are. It fails to say if you have AA turned up to 4x or turned off and the same with a lot of other important adjustments for eye candy.

I have a:

P4 2.85 ghZ
Asus P4T533-C mobo
512 PC 800 RDRAM
Radeon 9700 PRO (OCed 353/335)
60 & 80 gig WD HD w/ 2mb catch
then DVD and CDRW drives (plextor)

My 3D Mark 03 score: 3815

This is with the quality turned up on high on my video card. I never cared to see what score I would get with the options turned on low seeing I am benching for myself to see what quality i can pull out of my card vs performance.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. But I read some of the posts on the 3dMark website and there are still people scoring 10,000+. It seems like systems like Hijinks' and Zatrias' should be scoring higher.

Make sure you look at the res they use. They use something like 320x240 to get those scores.
