Hi There,
I am a long time reader but first time poster to THG and I am trying to find out if my new system is performing up to spec.
My system is as follows
AMD X2 4800+ (939)
Asus A8N SLI Premium mobo
2 x 512mb Crucial Ram (cas 3)
X1900XT 512mb RAM
Creative Audigy ZS
Antec NeoHE 500 watt power supply
2 120gb Hitatch ide hard drives both 7200rpm with 8mb cache
2 40gb Hitatchi sata drives (7200rpm with 8mb cache) in a Raid 0 config for games
I have run 3dmark 2005 a couple of times and get on average 10800 3dmarks and 5000 cpumarks.
The 3dmark score looks ok but i think i should be getting above 6000 on the cpu mark score based on reviews on the web and a couple of other results on futuremark.com
I have installed the latest AMD dual core drivers and the dual core optimizer and all my other drivers are up to date.
I have scoured the web but cannot find any other info on what might be holding back the performance of my cpu.
Any advice or info you can give would be greatly appreciated .
Many thanks in advance
John
