Pretty weak by today's standards, I know, but here she is:

This is a 1600+ air-cooled with a CAK-38, at 1.85V (no VMod yet), which is what's holding back the OC at this point. It won't do 3D any higher at the moment. And the vidcard is an MSI Ti500 with the worst GPU cooling EVAR! Still using stock cooling, btw. Was able to do this thanks to my new 512MB stick of XMS3200C2.

So.... do you guys figure that an extra 250MHz on the CPU would be enough for 11K? :D. Goal is to get into the top 10 with this card.

Stick a CPU cooler on the GPU...always helped my GPU clocks quite a bit :)

Yep, that's the plan. Once the watercooling is up and running, I'm going to put a CAK-38 on the GPU, minus the fan, and set up a 120mm or 92mm fan and a shroud to pull air over the vidcard.

Pretty weak by today's standards rocked 12 months ago :)

My own score is also in the 10 000 range though I have a GF4400 running at 305/650. It just goes to show how the 3dmark test can be cpu / bandwidth limited. I have a AMD running at 144 and 1705 Mhz.

Are you waiting for the nv30 ? Or XP2400 etc ? I'm waiting for both to get somewhere in the 15000 + range.

Hey it ain't 20k, but like cars or hi-fi's, as long as it's better than the last one then thats ok ;)

I'm actually waiting until this spring, when I get my tax refund, to buy any more serious hardware :D.

Should be able to do 11K no problem with an extra 30 MHz FSB, I should think. I'm betting I can hit 2GHz with this CPU as well.
