I tried to get 3DMark2000 to run on XP SP3 and no dice, so nothing here

Just bought 4890, so now I've got a 4850, 4890, 5770. Missed out on 9800GTX+ sale, but I'll look for another. Anyone know if the 1GB cards are much faster than the 512MB?

EDIT:
In other news, I have a 955 BE worth 7-7.1 GHz and 4.5+ CPU-NB in my hands now. Bad news is, last 5-10 minutes board acts like CPU is dead.
This board is liquid electrical taped, will tear down and try the CPU in another rig. :/

Do you think your AMD setup is strong enough to push these cards?
I don't think memory size makes a difference on the 9800GTX+. If it did there would be separate categories at the bot. The first cards in the ranking are 512MB cards as well.

7.1 sounds great, a dead CPU doesn't... Did the chip survive?

lol, I also expect John Lam to be hired as results moderator.

BTW, is someone going to join the Hwbot "October rush" competition?
I put up a decent result for the stage 3 but I don't think I'll be able to join the next stages, I don't have the right hardware nor the time to find it.

Yeah, John Lam and OPB are probably next.

There's nothing planned for the other stages as far as I know, to be honest I really don't like these super-short stages at all...

Here's a link to Mafio's competition entry for those who want to take a look at it. Nicely done!

3DMark2000 was stage 2, right?
I don't have any experience with that benchmark, the first I ever ran was 2001.

You could probably get some help in the HWBot forums, it might be useful for future competitions.
