Grabbed a nice score here with my Sapphire 9500 now that I've managed to get things stable.

And I finally figured out ClockGen:D

good work the 9500 is still SUCH a nice graphics card:)
p.s. is the A64 going higher anytime soon? (as in mhz)

If I may hijack this thread for a monent....
I am also using a Sapphire 9500. For some reason, I am getting very low fps in car chase low. I've tried just about every version of catalyst that has come out. I've also tried running the tests in different order. The only thing I can think of that might be the problem is my mem timings( 3-3-3-7) or the motherboard bios. If anyone has any insight into this, can you please steer me in the right direction?? http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7560187 (http://)

I'm using generic PC2100 ram, and i don't what's it's Cas ratings are, but I set my Ram timings at 2.5-2-2-6 in the bios, and I ran PCmark04,2002, 3dmark2001, mark03, aquamark3, and all my games with no glitches.

Hey DJ,

Just run it a few times until you get a good one. Some BH-5 wouldn't hurt either.

I'll try some tighter mem timings. Can't improve them too much though since my board is limited to 2.8Vdimm. I'll also try running car chase several times.
