A few oddies...

25% more 3Dmark06 with 20% more CPU clockspeed.

3.24GB in Vista. That means no remapping is done. (Odd on such a new system). Unlike XP32, 32bit Vista dont need to take the reserved space from the artificial limit of 4GB.


Also looking on the very recent scores from kinc and shamino.
3DMark Score 26454 3DMarks (2900XT CF@1175/950MHz)
SM 2.0 Score 10581 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 11798 Marks
CPU Score 8090 Marks (5119Mhz Core 2 Quad)

So we have to assume the SM2 and SM3 scores will be lower with the slower cards used. even with kinc/shaminos 100Mhz higher clocked 2900XTs, they would have to score a CPU score of 21000. Or about the same as a 12½Ghz Core 2 Quad.
