with 3dmark 05 out,many ppl have questions in their mind will their system run this benchmark ?
the answer is given on futuremark website with minimum system requirements they are :-
Minimum System requirements
* x86 compatible processor with MMX support, 2000MHz
* 512MB system memory
* 400MB of hard disk space
* DirectX9 generation graphics card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher
* Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP operating system
* DirectX9.0c or later
and so crucial factor comes with a graphics cards with PS 2.0+support it is obvious that all the high end cards will have it(or else there is no use of this bechmark ) but what about low end cards? which cards support this feature!
i m writing all the cards that support this feature-- pixel shader (PS) 2.0+(easiest way to find out it whether ur card support DX 9.0 or not ?)

PCX=PCI- Express version of cards
**offcourse all the onboard graphics don't have PS 2.0 or higher except for GMA 900 (supported by 915 Chipset on intel platform)
so
INTEL GMA 900-->2.0
and as far as concern goes to system RAM mostly for gaming systems have high system RAM but 3dmark 05 runs with 256MB of system RAM though at this point of time i can't tell what exactly is the performance difference!!
i m doomed!!!
