But im happy with it, so thats all that matters. Seem to get 13.5k on 3d mark with my clocked gf4.
:D Very nice indeed. Not bad for the price eh? What were you running before and how did it compare?
Well i used to run a..
2100+ (stock 133fsb)
gigabyte 7vax
512 ddr pc2700
globalwin cooler
verre v70 case (crap airflow)
eagle 350w generic psu
now a
2500+ (200fsb)
asus a7n8x deluxe
512 ddr pc3200
thermaltake 11 xaser cooler
Chieftec Dragon Silver (5 fans - brill airflow)
cwt 450 psu
Used to get 11.4k clocked to the max with gfx, i get like 13.8 now with gfx card clocked to the max. Still can get more just need to tweak after a fresh install on win2k pro.
If you've got an A7N8X, you should really use MBM to get proper temps. You'll find that if you restart your comp and go into the BIOS, those numbers would be higher than when you get into Windows with Asus Probe!!
Here have a lookie:

Notice the difference between CPU and Socket temps. If I were to install Asus Probe, it'll record my temps at 38C, with MBM, it's 47C. But if you find everything's stable, then you won't have nothing to worry about. :p
Ive just recently upgraded to the same spec machine as u, Clocked it to exactly the same and is running very stable. The 2500 barton cant be beaten on price and performance imo.
