Hey Monte.. I have heard some good things about the ASUS A7N8X.. What is the proformance like?

Heh, not quite sure how to describe that. Its been stable, very stable. I havent done much with overclocking, no need to quite yet. Its hard to describe the performance of a single component in a computer, since everything work together. I would have to rate it as good though, I am hanging with systems with close specs and a variety of mobos, I'll link to some AM3 scores. I need to run 3dmark03 again, because i am confident I can break 5000 stock (have been getting 49xx.

Highest (with overclock on video card only):

OK Here goes:

Spent a total of $5000 on that inc. insurance - was the best PC at the time.

Current PC

I'm thinking of getting:

The highest speed and best proccessor possible

1-2GB RAM

- Any Donations to help my cause are welcome!

Speed as in GHz or performance?

Or memory?

and lots of other stuff

These are the scores for the benchmarks I ran about 2 months ago.

3D Mark 2001SE
3D Mark 2003
AquaMark 2003
PC Mark 2003

Another benchmark I used was Final Fantasy 11 It isn't as widely used as the others, i don't think... But it's fun nonetheless!
FFXI Score: 5021 (on High-Demo)

I also went to PC Pitstop and ran the full test on my comp. I came up with a 1758


I don't know how these scores and/or benchmarks compare to other scores, and it really doesn't matter. I am totally satisfied with what I have built, and how it preforms the duties and tasks that I ask of it.

Sumpin: Those scores surely arent from an XP3200+ clock at 2.5GHz are they? If so, they are VERY low.

Also because you have Radeon 9800 Pro

it is NOT a pro, it is a non-pro. he is running an overclocked 5900, he should be beating me.

look at his CPU score compared to mine in Aquamrk3 3, a difference of almost 2000 points, when his processor should be well ahead of mine (at about 8000-8700 points if he is at 2.5GHz).

I woiuld say he needs some Windows tweaking

i increased my stock aquamark score by 3000 points, just through tweaking windows. (ran it on a fresh instal of windows and got 34000)

Okay dude.. I just got like a 7,000 score okay..lol

huh??

"okay dude" did you take me as being aggrivated or something???

just posting

alot can be done in tweaking windows to get scores higher. I think some people tend to overlook this aspect and just rush to "raise the clocks" as high as they go.Which isnt a great idea, cause all though it my not be producing visual errors, they can be processing errors from not enough voltage or cooling and the card has to reprocess that info to get it right, thus performing a little slower than a clock speed thats lower than the highest. I experienced this with my radeon I get higher AM3 score at 392MHz than I do at 400.

Umm.. Monte. Your 9800 card is a Pro, according to your 3D Mark 2003 score atleast.

Click your link and check the computer specs, it says Radeon 9800 Pro.

Check thislink to see how I know this

These benchmarks weren't run with an XP3200, they were ran on a XP2800-Barton, that is slightly tweaked. The video card is slightly overclockec, but not very much. I'll run them soon with the XP3200 machine, it's sorta apart atm

LMAO, I know you are not telling me WHAT my video card is, it is a 9800 NON-PRO. Look it its clock frequecys for my stock scores on Aquamrk 3 324/290 a Pro is 380/340. It shows as a Pro in the driver, because it is the same core, just different clock speeds, so it runs the same path as the Pro version hence it is identified as a Pro, because it actually is a Pro "technically" Just its BIOS sets it for a lower clock speed, uses cheaper memory, so the call it a non-pro.

Even the pick you posted shows the clock speeds at 9800 non-pro speeds. LOL, you owned yourself

Even if it was a "slightly tweaked 2800+ Barton" you scores are a little low. Thats just my oppinion though, i think more could be had even at stock speeds, but since you were overclocked, you should have REALLY beaten my stock scores.

I'm not really following whats been happenin in here, but is it really worth it to overclock a video card. And I have a non-pro radeon 9800 and it says i have a pro on my computer.

Its normal to have a non-pro show as a Pro in the driver. Is it really worth overclocking? no, not really. But sometimes its fun for bencjmarking.
