--Benchmark Guide--

Wow ^_^ Impressive. I just got a 4733, with 1.3GH AMD, and 512 of ram... I wish Radeon came out with the 256Meg Ram ATI 9800 sooner, but I bought the 128 because I could not wait ^_^ Nice card, I just need a new everything else to go with it ;.;

I'm not sure what my video card is but i'll post the rest of my specs:

1.8 Ghz (I think)
512 RAM Duel Channel DDR
80 GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive
and well I went to Dell site and they dont have the computer there anymore (Dimension 8200) so I may not know the rest of the specs. But can someone please let me know if this is good enough? I tried the benchmark program and I scored a 1814....thanks.

[Helm]

yes you can play.. 1500 is the minimum, but perhaps you should look into getting a new graphics card?

[John Doe III]

I guess so..i'll have to look to see what I have but i'm pretty sure it will run fine...I was just asking any other suggestions?

- _^ ! go go overclocking, 3200+barton & 512mb corsair xms ram & radeon9800 & nforce board

[UltimaWeapon]

Bitchin' indeed.

*Pushes Ultima down and grabs the computer then runs as fast as he can then disapears*

Sorry I really can't help you overclock I would feel really bad if I told you to do the wrong thing. Overclocking is a little bit difficult... not something you would want to do to your good computer on your first time doing it. >< If you really want to do it look around for a guide on how to do it...also remember that not all computers are built to be overclocked.

CPU 1,7 gyg
256 DDR
geforce 4 ti 4200

not so good result

[John Doe III]

Tidal what was your score on the benchmark? I got a 1814...with 1.8 GHz, 80 GB HD, GeForce2 Video Card, and DSL...if that matters.

[StarRealms]

For those downloading the benchmark who have a nvidia graphics card, I strongly suggest downloading the latest nvidia drivers. I went from a 1780 score to a 2350 score, just by updating the video drivers (roughly 30% benchmark improvement). Needless to say I was shocked... so make sure those drivers are up to date

[fastcart]

Are these the same drivers that artificially raise scores on 3dmark benchmarks? If they are, the scores you just got may not be true scores.
