Is this normal

[Ramrod]

Hi there, I´ve just arrived at this forum and it seems great!
I just want to ask you guys if my score is fairly normal.

And by the way: Everything is at the default. I like to bench it at default :)

XP1800 AGOIA
MSI KT3 ULtra bios v5.5
2x 256MB Samsung PC2700. One good CTL chip and one bad DTL :((
MSI Ti4200
80+20gig IBM IDE
40.72 nvidia drivers and via4.37
And my score landed finally on 10300


I hope not

Ramrod,

[Ramrod]

Thx guys for your answers and kindness :)
You never meet this kind of people on our swedish forums that I use to "hang out"

Hmm so I don´t need to worry about the score. That sounds great!

Do you know any advanced guides or tips that I can use. Im not a beginner so I know the basic of tweaking but I want to learn more ;)


Thanks anyway

Simon

thx m8

By the way.
You all talking about running prime95 and its this and that stable.
I cant understand how you can ..let say test 11*195 and then test the stability for like 6h and then rise to mayby 11*200

If I´ve understood right it may take a whole week just to see where the system is stable.

But when you guys write about it it sound like you do it in maybye a few hours. I hope you understand what Im getting at.

How should I test the system to find out if its stable without putting on prime85 for halv a decade.
I dont want to waste a whole week just waiting for the system to crash in prime just to jump in to the bios and lower the fsb and then wait another 7 or 8h.

plz tell me that Im seriously wrong :)

Well, you wouldn't catch me burning in my hardware for that long. Maybe just 9 1/2 years. ;)

Actually, I beleive if it can run non-stop overnight it is stable enough for everyday use.

Oh and welcome to the forums.
