.. and without any tweaks (other than running the processor at 3.2ghz instead of it's stock 2.94), I score about 12K on 3D Mark 06 in 1680x1050. I'd have to look it up again, but that's what I remember right off the top of my head.
A 4500 is a decent score with that system - especially the Prescott. Good, sturdy processor, but it's showing it's age.

I could easily bump up to 12,000 if I adjuted a few timings and bumped the clock barely 2-3%.
maybe your SLI isn't on?

Don't forget a really good monitor to show off all that shizzle. I got a Samsung 226CW, it was'nt cheap but man was it worth it. I can't find any listed in the States but you can find the 226BW for around $300 and it's just about the same.

Re: Preparing to build a PC - need YOUR help.
Okay, if I did this right - this is my first attempt at linking someone to one of my 3D Mark 06 results:
http://service.futuremark.com/orb/re...jectId=4631603
Funny story - I forgot to enable SLI after my last driver update.
However.
3DMark06 still only shows one video display device in it.
My score was just shy of 13k - 129xx
I've got another 8800 GTX that I'm selling, and once that goes through, I'm toying with the idea of going from 2gb of Corsair XMS2 800FSB to something faster, and 4 gigs of it. Which, I'll obviously go to Vista 64 if I do that.
Other than that .. maybe I'll start a new thread with my system stats / bios settings, maybe someone can suggest some tweaks.
I'm a bit shy about overclocking after (years ago) attempting to overclock a 486 DX4 100 and smoking it. So I tend not to futz around with it too much. But I honestly feel this rig isn't at it's fullest potential.
And once I finish school and end this six year health-induced hiatus from working, I'm looking into going to a bit better of a monitor (though I'm perfectly happy with this one, so I don't know) and some network storage, etc., here in the house.
(Monitor - right now a 20.1" Sceptre - beautiful monitor that's just over a year old. Runs at 1680x1050)

I also need to figure out how to keep the Dell in circulation, as my wife needs it for Citrix, she works from home several days a week.
I noticed this monitor has a VGA input as well as a DVI. For all you McGyver types out there, does this mean I could run VGA to the Dell and DVI to the Bigdog box (at the same time, one of the two would always be turned off), using a switch box for the peripherals such as mouse and keyboard?
Assuming the Bigdog box will agree to sit in the same room with the dell?
This is one of those 'good' problems. Damn I can't wait for the new box to show up.
