Spent a few tays to pla with unfamiliar (for me) AMD system. Looks like it is maxxed out now, p/c cooling for vidcard might help though

System specs:
Athlon FX-53 (939) @ 2985 MHz (221x13.5) @ 1.8V, cooled by NVENTIV Mach II GT (-15C under load)
ASUS A8V Deluxe, Vdimm modded
Kingston HyperX PC3500 (BH-5) @ 221 (synchro) 2-5-2-2-7-16 @ 3.05V
Reference ATi Radeon X800XT-PE @ 675/630 (Vcore=1.82V, OVP modded), cooled by 3RSystem Poseidon (!)
Sweex Golden Series 650W PSU

3DMark 2001 SE score: 35902 and i returned to TOP-10 with watercooled vidcard! I like my raddy, 675 without xtreme cooling is quite nice...

BTW, testd done with DX9.0b and Win XP SP1. I spent alotta time trying to realize what's wrong with Win2k, but failed. Damn that thing is about 20-30% slower than my XP. Any clues, guys? i'm n00b to AMD benchmarking...
