heh, I haven't even got 2k3 yet. :)

I'm sure their server is getting slammed, and the download is over two hundred megs. It might be wise to wait until there's a few mirrors out there. :)

Heh, there's actually quite a few places to dl it from, but they're ALL getting heavy traffic. I've got 57 megs of it. :rolleyes: Might be a good idea to use GetRight, or some download manager. ;)

I can't find one (Server) over 80 KB/s so I guess it will get here when it gets here.... :booze:

Yay, finally got it dl'ed! My first run got a measly 4467, but I didn't even bother submitting it. It's not reading my mobo or vidcard right, so I'm thinking it might be format time. Or at least reinstall drivers. :hrmph:

Just did a fresh install of Windows today since I've been testing boards for a review.

I'll post what I get after I've dl'ed it.

Ouch. 2472.

Looks like the highest score was by nVidia with two PCIE 6800 series cards hooked up in SLI and they only got over 7000. I think it's funny that nVidia brought back SLI (invented by 3DFX). SLI mode, while cool and beefy is a mighty expensive way to boost frame rates ;)

Got a 2424. I wonder it OC the processot is giving me a negitve affect. I keep getting tearing. But then again, I not to worried about 3d mark.

Well, since there's no overclocking forum here, :rolleyes: ;) , I guess this post goes here. I finished voltmodding the VIVO@XT PE today, to get the clocks up to 600/600, and broke 6500 in '05. :banger: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=98897 Funny tho, my '01 score didn't go up at all. :dunno:

[Zwolf[SS]]

That's amazing. :)

I hit 3990 without tweaking anything. I'm ok with that for now........

My system must be messed up, or the benchmark is, cause after overclocking the processor from 3.2Ghz to 3.4Ghz, my score went way down... :nope: :rolleyes:

Not published yet, but 2970ish without tweaking or shutting down any programs (had Mozilla, my ftp server, no-ip.duc and even forgot to turn off F@H). Not too bad for "old hardware". :)
