I mentioned in my systems specs that I had my GeForce Ti 4200 Graphics card overclocked and gave the values I set it to.
I would like to mention that before I did overclock it to those values I took 2 small heat sinks and cut them into 8 small pieces and clued them to all 8 Memory SMT chips on the graphics card to dissipate heat. I also added an extra cooling fan blowing past the on board cooling fan to dissipate heat. I then installed an intake cooling fan in the front of the case as well as a exhaust fan blowing out the back of the case.
I also forgot to mention that I use a Enermax Power Supply Supporting Intel P4 & AMD XP and K8 CPU's at 400 Watts and it has a intake and exhaust fan built into it. I run a High end CPU cooling fan as well.

Ok TwoFruitz I performed the Benchmark but without any overclocking as you have your 2.4C @ 3.0G.
I ran my system at stock AMD XP 2800+ speed of 2.08 Gig later I can overclock the Barton just to see what it can pull off. I imagine if I up the FSB I will post outstanding scores but we wont find that out until I go to the new AMD 64 bit CPU's. I never overclock my CPU's but I do overclock the graphics cards.
Your scores are posted to Future Mark in your link.
Mine are listed below. Not bad going up against a overclocked Intel chip. I still think the benchmarks do not reflect actual in game performance. I used to run an Intel 2.0 Gig and Ghost Recon from UBI.SOFT ran so bad I could hardly play it, with this current system I had to slow the in game mouse sensitivity down because I was overshooting on my gun sights and scope shots so there is zero game lag. HEY!! I even beat your frames Per Second on the low detail for the car chase ? I hope your scores are accurate.

Well I'll be damned it linked up the 2 bench marks off your link Not to damn bad I might even overclock my CPU so I can beat all your scores. I don't want to burn out my CPU but if I unleash this Barton 2800+ it would do some serious damage to your 2.4C @ 3.0G

I set my CPU from 166/33 to 183/37 that bounced the memory from 333 MHz up to 366 MHz and brought the Front side Bus up to nearly 200 MHz. I ran the 3D mark test again and scored almost as high as yours in fact they looked to be about equal. But since I was crapping my pants on the overclock of the CPU I set it back to the standard 166/33. I did like the performance upgrade I could actually see the operating system working faster.
I will look into heat dissipation today to see if I can keep the CPU up at 183/37 my Memory designed for 333 MHz handled the 366 MHz with no apparent problems.
Of course you cant tell that until the system has run that way for a few days. I also could push the chip faster then the 183/37 perhaps up as high as 190/38 in the BIOS settings I have the option on my ASUS board to go even higher.
I have to get my thermal meter and type J thermal couples out so I can do some base line heat measurements off the CPU and system board. I use type J thermal couples because they present instant temperature readings however the type K's take longer to register the heat but they are more stable and show the readings accordingly.

I have had the same metal case I payed good money for 4 years ago it now has it's third motherboard in it. P.S I buy AMD CPU's to game with because Intel CPU's look good like frosting on grabs but they cant play games worth a [-peep-].
I Buy AMD CPU's because they are simply a better game platform then Intel CPU's and why should I pay 500 bucks for a Intel 2.6C chip when I can buy a AMD 1800+ for 266 Bucks and it works!!

Meet me in Day Of Defeat son and put your Pentium where your mouth is you will find my user name at the top of the score list you know the guy with the 1800+ AMD cpu kicking the living Craap... out of all the Intel guys because they are lagging like sh|t.

I don't play video games unless you consider solitaire and majhongg video games.
I have a good job that pays very well so I don't need to steal software, music and movies.
If I want to, I can buy (with cash, not credit) the latest and greatest hardware and software without asking how much it is going to cost.
Okay, brain. You don't like me, and I don't like you, but let's get through this thing and then I can continue killing you with beer. -- Homer Simpson.
Me to zpyerd I can buy what I want to that is what some of them have not clicked into yet. I don't buy the Intel stuff because I have used the Intel stuff and it simply cant compete for what I use it for and yes some of it is games. I have a choice and money is not the problem I simply never saw an Intel chip work well enough to use for my personnel P.C. AND....when I go to the new AMD 64 CPU's I will be even more happy.

Curious to know why you thought I liked FPS games?
Also why did you think I don't like AMD processors?
In the thousands of posts I have made here I don't recall putting anyone down for owning or promoting AMD products nor do I recall posting anything about FPS video games.
I like big tits. And guys that say they don't like big tits are in denial.
Hey !! You implied in your post that came right into my home email that you did not play games so I presumed that you did not like FPS games from your statement and also you said that you could purchase any computer hardware that you wished because you did not have a resource issue and you live well.
I respected both of those comments when I replied to your post. In fact you can only get into trouble when you make a presumption not when you presume something ask Sherlock Holmes, and my wife is as you say well endowed thank you. I am not in denial I am swamped in bountiful respect for her.

Hmmm...usually the contents start sloshing around after the first week, but then they settle and form a hardened sedimentary layer by the end of week two.
I just wish the dogs would stop following me around.
I am still confused why you replied to me with the following post.

I don't recall bragging about owning an Intel Inside computer or being a hot shot FPS gamer.
