Woaha! Long time no hear, OlssonE. Where you been?

Nice 'mark' BTW...

Had no computer for a week. Then my internet connection screwed up!
Then my printer squashed my fingers ....naa just kidding!

where can we get it?

The printer or the prog?
The prog at http://www.madonion.com
My possesed printer is visiting hell for the moment.

My cousin just got a GeForce 4 ti2000...scored somewhere in the 9,000's...

jummy!

p4 1.6ghz geforce 2 mx 400 512mb pc 800 rimm win2k directx 8.1 win2k pro......damn win2k pro sucks at this stuff

3dmark2001 se 5155 on default settings

on the pc mark test

memory 3921 ( top score on site )
cpu 4683
hdd (western dig caviar 60 gb) 732

Tweaked and got 5716!

tomeaglescz: Whats this I hear you say ? win2k isnt good for this kind of thing ? I was planning on updgrading, I was under the impression it was far supiorer for graphics and ram usage matters ? Am I wrong (more than likely) ?

Windows 2000 and XP are based on Windows NT kernel, which is a very good kernel (especially as far as memory management is concerned). Windows 2000 doesn't perform well only when playing games, because all drivers (incl. driver for graphic card) run with "special restrictions" (in order for OS to remain stable). And that's why some people still use Windows 9x (since games will run a little bit faster), but that doesn't mean that Windows 2000 can't run games (and IMHO differences in speed are minimal). On the other hand Windows XP doesn't have any "problems" running games...

if you look back at the site it warns that win2k is significantly slower on games play etc and to expect lower marks than on true windows platforms ie those not based on the nt kernel.

that is what i meant, my pc scores were very high but on 3d u dont get the same level as froma windows platform

But isn't XP based on NT ?

As I've said above, Windows XP is also based on NT kernel, but it isn't strict as Windows 2000, and you can use *extreme* drivers (you know - unofficial leaked drivers) to achieve higher 3D score...

Hmmm, I've been considering upgrading to windows 2000 myself ever since I got a free learning edition of maya. I don't play games on my pc but will all my other software run ok? its mainly graphics packages with some music software. Also my brother installed XP on his system and said it slowed everything right down to an unbareable level, even his printer. I think he had the same problem with ME. is 2000 also resource intensive?

~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~

Most applications (incl. games) will run fine under Windows 2000/XP (personally I didn?t have any problems with both operating systems), especially in Windows XP since it also has compatibility mode that can emulate older versions of Windows. As far as resources are concerned, NT kernel is relatively resource hungry (CPU, memory and HDD), so if you really have an old computer don't upgrade.

BTW Did your brother install Windows XP over previous version of Windows (upgrade). If so, that may be the reason why Windows XP appears to run slower. It's always best to do a clean install...

My brother has so many files on his pc that I cant really see him going to the trouble of backing it all up so he may well have upgraded. I'm running a PIII 500mz cpu here which has always been fine for the stuff I do (as I said, I dont play games) but I would consider upgrading if I thought it was required for windows 2000

My ATI Radeon 8500 with a P IV 1,4 GHz and 512 MB Ram got under WinXP 8021 3D Marks.

I have a 466mhz Celeron
256mb ram
GeForce 2 MX 64mb

My comp of course sucks. But I can atleast play Anarchy online and Dungeon, which are the 2 games I live and breath off of right now.

I am getting a new system after school is over though. so that is cool.

I'm going to add a sig later

Hmm, not bad, 4894. Mind you that's on my laptop, and laptops haven't really been known as gaming platforms so I'm happy with that.

PIV 1.6GHz, 512 M RAM, Geforce4 440 Go. The slimmed down Geforce isn't as bad as its big brother, but you get a lot of bang for the size.
