My comp isn't overclocked at all. VirtuaMark works by looking at benchmarks done with each component and seeing what each adds to your system. In this case they added up to 9000. I then ran my computer through 3DMark06 and got a score of 9076. I usually take the time to make sure my system is running nice clean and optimized most of the time though. My 5000+ and 3870 aren't overclocked. I haven't had a reason to use the extra processing power. In most games though, my computer runs fairly well able to maxamize the settings, but FPS on modern games is usually around 30FPS. Except UT2007. My machine is a monster for calculating in it. Props to Epic for creating such a good engine that takes advantage of 64-bit multi-processor systems. You won't be able to overclock the current Phenoms too well except maybe the 9600 Black Edition. The reason being is the problems with the L3 Cache that need to be fixed. Like unlocking it. |

Well... E8400 3.6Ghz, Gigabte X38-DS4, 2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800, BFG 8800GT OC 700/1756/1950 oc'ed by me, WD SE16 SATA3.0/gbs HDD, Silverstone ST56ZF 560w w/ 38amps on Single 12v Rail, Zalman 9700LED CPU HSF, Lite-On DVD/CD burner Combo SATA. This is a 24/7 Setup. While i really only like 3dmark06 for the ability to loop it for a hour and test gaming environments on a new system and/or OC, I like anyone else enjoy a good score. Good score for only a low DualCore OC and a single 8800GT I think. I surpass 14k mark pretty easily when I up the e8400 to 4.0Ghz. However 3.6Ghz is enough for my gaming and I am not bottlenecking my setup so I stay here. Maybe in a few months I will up it to 4ghz and burn it in for 24/7 use.

Forget about my current, my future PC's are the ones that are interesting! First one has an
Neither one of them will ever run Windows Vista, unless I get it for free...
Edit: Just don't forget, I don't have them.. yet... €200 to go. |

Originally posted by Ebolavirus Sounds like a fair deal, however you might want to skip the 9600, and wait for its bigger brothers... That card might get lonely in a monster system like that. :) And don't bother buying DDR2 RAM, DDR3 runs way smoother, and costs only a bit more. But €200 extra, in a system of $3560... ;) |

What Is your current? Cause Some of us could start talking about how we are saving for a skulltrail! Just being candid here. The reason some of us post pictures is to prove what we got. Your specs are meaningless and just fantasy until you can show some proof. So why dont you post some benchies or Screens of your current system and when you get your "new" ones, update it? Then of course it begs another question.. if your just 200 away from getting them both, why didnt you already build one and by the time you had it running the other one would be on the way? Silly holes in your post make it hard to believe when you wont even post your current! I mean my god man.. you describe your mobo for your 3D application workstation rig as a "Amazing motherboard". Stop being a poser and dont come back to this thread until you can prove the farce of text. |
