Yes, I have the two. You are looking at a very old benchmark. My Radeon 8500 is actually <i>faster</i> under Windows XP now than it is under Win9x/Me. Performance has been improved significantly since those very early benchmarks.

i dont think its bad...check out my 3dmark score...im pretty happy w/ it...
i can get my score to about 9500 if i tweaked/overclock my system a little...but its fine at stock speed...

pr497, it's kinda sad to see a good Northwood's performance go to waste, why don't you overclock it to at least 2.2GHz?

because thats the highest i can overclock it to (2.24 actually w/ my P4S333)...
besides...i dont need that extra speed anyways...2 ghz will be fine for me for the time being...
the only reason i overclock it (right now) is purely for benchmarking purposes...other than that...it works just fine...
i will overclock it to 2.2 when it begins to feel sluggish...
