Never been to interested in 3Dmark really, but all this talk got me thinking, so I gave it a go. Scored a 16165, is that good?

Run it at proper settings (people spending £1000 on gfx hardware are NOT going to be playing games at 1280x1024 0xAA) and you will likely see more of a difference. i.e. at 1920x1200 8xAA 16xAF and above you will likely see a fair difference between a GTS512 and 3x8800u in Tri-SLI.
Since i got my 24" monitor ive run everything at 1920x1200 and run all game and CP settings at max with 16xAF and AA set to application controlled. Havnt played Crisis and the most demanding games i currently play (COH OF, DIRT, COD4, MTW2) run fine.
So i spose im happy with my current hardware but i am bursting to get 4 gig of Ram.
It also gives people big DO NOT USE THAT WORD ON THESE FORUMS , bigger than they'll ever have in the real world

So? woman dont like DO NOT USE THAT WORD ON THESE FORUMS do they..?
I thought the ladies loved DO NOT USE THAT WORD ON THESE FORUMS?![]()
I doubt they like DO NOT USE THAT WORD ON THESE FORUMS at all(or even know what it is)
The dilema is that im away at the end of March and not back to blighty till Nov. I do this every 2 years and just buy a new rig when i get back and hand down the current one, will DDR3 be desirable by then or will 4gig kits be reasonably priced. I know its only £75 but the missus doesnt need 4gb of ramto play Sherlock Holmes or Myst while im away.Go for it! I did a while back, really nice to have that extra bit, I'm wanting 8GB now though(thinking about getting these Click!

Anyone else **** themselves laughing at this? Wonder what the word was...
Having only just looked at the thread i thought that the word may have been one that rhymes with clanger.
wanger, if that is along the same line as henous. i shall stop there as i dont want to bring the thread down any more.
Back on topic though, 06 will probably go the same way as 01 03 05 went, will all depend on the speed at which newer and faster hardware is developed.
