sniperx said:Hey I had a very similiar setup to yours. Before my upgrade I had a 2800xp. Overclocking was very limited and the like. I had my x800 at the time as well. Paid $200 for my mobo/cpu and havent looked back since. Once a bios comes out with higher vcore I can easly hit 2.7-2.8 Until then ill be at 2.4 and blowing the heck out of my 2800xp for now. Believe me I recieved a huge increase on performance on my upgrade.
My sentiments exactly. Upgrading to a XP64 has got to be an improvement in itself.
I noticed your 3DMark scores. Mine with a 5900XT/2800+ (3DMark03) were 5014/596 and with a 6600GT/2800+ (3DMark05) were 3371/2758. I did try to score the 5900XT on the Mark05 with poor results near 1000. Not sure how the CPU scores are done, but they are different. Other than that no change to the system but the graphics were much better. I can only assume that the 64 system would improve the score.
