That is strange, did you do it at the same setting?

You maybe want to show us some tangible results. Post some results on Madonion.com and then I'll believe you. Not saying that I don't. It just sounds kinda unlikely....

There's a compare link just below your system stats and above the scores when it's showing.

So you can link directly to it instead of telling people what to search for.

i realise people probably think im just boasting here but im not. i just thought it was strange that toms scores are so low and wandering if u guys could give me some explanation?

It is known that there is a great performance difference (with games) between Win98 and Win2k, so probably there is a difference between Win98 and WinXP too.

BTW I'm searching for a 'free' version.

Thanks. I will test and see how well my system scores. And then I test it again when I've replaced my GeForce2MX for a GeForce4 Ti4200. That is going to be a lot of difference.

If you really want to know:

AMD AthlonXP1600+
Abit KG7-RAID
ASUS GeForce2 MX 32MB @ 225/205 MHz
Realteck NIC 10/100 Mb/s
SoundBlaster Live! Value
350W Codegen PSU
350W EnerMax PSU (double fan version)
ASUS 52x CDROM
TOSHIBA 16X DVD
HP 12x8x32x CDRW
3.5" FD
5.25" FD
2 Seagate Barracuda IV in RAID 0 array (waiting for replacement because these drives suck in RAID)
Maxtor 15.3GB 7200rpm ATA66
Seagate 6GB ATA33 (temp out of order, might be broken)
DigiDoc5 to control 6 casefans
Swiftech MCW462 wateblock, 800l/h pump, BlackIce radiator.
A total of <b>14</b> fans to cool everything.

Hence why my former sig was:
My case has so many fans that it hoovers above the ground .

See my profile for my old sigs.

I think he has 2 power supplies because of all the fans. And he has all the fans because of the heat from the two power supplies. I don't know which happened first.

my comp is feeling neglected now! it only got 1 case fan..

The reason I have two PSU:
The first codegen came with my case but after some time I decided to buy a better one, I couldn't find a cheap Enermax 550W PSU on a local PC Discount Day (lots of store sell for cheap prices) but I saw this 350W from EnerMax. I already knew how to connect two PSU with eachother so I modded my case and put two in them, one powers almost all my fans and is going to power my CD and FD too (Codetech PSU), the EnerMax powers my mobo and drives and 1 fan.

Now I will tell you where I have put all my fans:
1 GPU Fan (Old P75)
2 HD fans (cooling 4 HDs from the side)
1 120mm 36W fan cooling my Radiator slowed down by some resistors.
3 PSU fans
1 NorthBirdge fan
6 Casefans:
1 Bottom middle (my case has weels)
1 Bottom front
1 Middle at the left side of case besides the CPU
1 Middle rear
1 Middle front (small one of DigiDoc5)
1 Top

Total=14 fans, and when I have my new GeForce4 it will become 15, then my P75 fan cools the videomem.

<b>THGC:</b> before: , after: .

They don't run all, normal only 8 fans run making not much noise. If the temps inside my case get to high my DigiDoc5 automatically turns on the casefan that cools down the place where it is to hot. My current temps are: CPU:30 Case:30 which are not high.
I got 2 fans from old PSU and fans aren't that expensive. I also have one from my old P75 server which got a new heatsink and one for my first Athlon heatsink (in the time I didn't OC yet). So it didn't cost me much money.
