I Dont know about anyone around these forums but i sick of these stupid benchmarks. I just installed 3d Mark 03 and "scored" around 4096 which pretty bad score compared to others who have the same machine as mine with the same specs.
Heres my specs:

AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+
Gigabyte Motherboard K8NNXP
1.5 Gig of Geil DDR400 PC3200 RAM
GexCube ATI Radeon 9800XT256
Plenty of hardisk space
DVD-ROm/WR
21 " Dell trinitron Monitor

and i scored 4096 with some of the demos bringing my machine to fps as low as 20. Whats the deal with that? I run MaxPayne2, HALO, RavenSheild, Pandorra Tommorow perfeclty smooth. The only game that has slowed down my machine is FarCry. Running it on 1024 x 768 is ok until i get to the "RIVER" level and the level where you have to blow all the towers, my frames hit around 30 and below causing some slowdowns- this i think is due to the way they made the game. Hopefully it will run Halflife2 better, somehow i feel Halflife 2 will run smoother due to better optimizations.
