Does this mean that my score of 11330 is low ? I don't have any clue of what could be a good score for this type of system. I used one of the most recent AGP card I have but the "modern" driver should add overhead. I can give another try with a 6800NU AGP (with unlocked units). But Nvidia series 6 …

I guess we should allow socket 478 but with Willamette Core only. Could rename it to P4 Willamette: Aiming for the stars. First post updated!!!

We will be able to see just how weak they actually were with the ultimate test of Aiming for the stars. It probably wont even make it to the moon.

I think it would be fun to pick a specific issue of Computer Shopper (available on archive.org) and declare a competition's rules to be, "Use any CPU and video card that are for sale in this issue. Highest 3DMark xxxx score at the end of this month wins." I like that idea alot. We could also use …

I was curious what the 1.4 thunderbird would do on a socket A. This is stock clocks on both the CPU and GPU. Chipset is nforce2 with dual channel DDR400!!
