3dmark06, can i use basic version to test?

[frankyk]

i just downloaded the free version (BASIC) of 3dmark06, do i need advanced to test, or i can use BASIC to test? also, does 3dmark have 2m2.0 test and such?

That's what most people use. And as for SM3, it does. Every time new technology comes out a new 3dmark comes out that utilizes it to test the latest hardware. That's the whole point of 3dmark.

Well, that and be able to compare e-penises all day long and twice or three times on sunday.

you can use the free version however certain features are locked with the basic one.

(Basicly you can only run the basic score test, for anything else you have to buy it)

AFAIK, even with the full version, the recommended tests are the same as the freeware if you wanted an accurate comparison over the net.

Edit: Whoops, wrong version. I don't have that one yet.
