    Kewl!is it actually possible to disable the extra cache? also would ram make a difference as u have 768 and i have 512... plus you also run 400MHz fsb and i run 370...but if we are gonna clock to same speeds then it should be fair,but i dunno as ram etc... good fun tho
    PS prolly gonna oc the 9600xt a bit more as trying out RADlink atm

    Clock speeds/cache size make very little difference to 3DM2003, it's almost entirely graphics card bound. You can disable cache on XP series processors as long as they're not the 'superlocked' type, it's the L2 + L9 bridges. As I say though, not worth the bother.

    also would ram make a difference as u have 768 and i have 512
    Nope.

    ... plus you also run 200MHz fsb and i run 370...
    His is 400MHz DDR (200MHz actual).

    So, are you going to set a 3DMark2003 (build 3.5.0) world record for a 9600 series card and beat my score, or are you going to admit defeat gracefully?

    You actually said you had a card that would own mine. You don't post screenshots, you submit a score to futuremark like I did. These are pretty much hackproof.
