I got a frame every 4 seconds in the first CPU test...

Good luck to the rest of you... This thing left my relatively nice system a limp, sore, festering POS!!!

hheeh Yea, same here was sad about it Sad

Raid 0 didn't do crap for it Sad

Really didn't expect it to though...

What's sad is:
2 GeForce 6600GT OC SLI 6797 with 3dMark05
1 GeForce 7800GT - 6960 with 3dMark 05 Sad

I don't even want that thing touching any of my current systems.

Hopefully this summer I'll have the time (and $$$$) to build me a new system. I heard from some unnamed person (*cough*AMD*cough) though that the M2's probably won't be out until Q3 though. Sad

I'm bummed about that because I wanted to build my next system with AMD & DDR2.

My pair of 6600's didn't fair so well in this test. So I'm going to be buying a pair of 7800's on friday, along with an opteron 148 CPU. Grin
