I just received my Athlon 64 3000+ last night, along w/ the rest of my system specs in my sig.
First thing I did after OCing this baby a little was load up 3DMark2002 CPU test. I was appalled at the microscopic performance increase over my previous CPU! The tests cranked out consistently in the 6900's CPU scores.
My previous CPU was an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ @ 1.7 GHz stock speed, running on an ancient ECS K7S5A rev1 mobo. That thing churned out 5100's CPU score consistently.
So we have 6900/5100 = +35% performance increase!
Oh my god that's it??! I was expecting performance percentage deltas to be in the hundreds at least. Did I get a faulty CPU?
I'll post my CPU-Z image up later today soon as I get home.
CPU reads as: "NewCastle" (specifics are in the sig)
