from a gaming perspective, do you think that would help? I'm considering going up to 3 (maybe 4) since the drives are relatively cheap. plus I could use the storage regardless.

Thanks for replies!

Guess I forgot to enable SLI on the old scan lol

Don't even comment on the background! I used the default 'Characters' theme without realizing how colorful it was lol.

the only difference faster hdd's will make in games is quicker load times while loading maps and on startup. it won't increase your fps.

your 285s are only 512mb? that sucks... that's a lot of gpu power that's going to be somewhat limited at your resolution. i'm not suggesting an upgrade though, 2x gtx285 is plenty of power.

There is no 512MB version of the 285. Only 1024MB and 2048MB : )

that's reassuring to me, didn't make too much sense.

oops 1024, my bad I always get confused because the specs on my computer never say 1024 (x2 with SLI) so I always assume to divide it. Thx for that.

I'll add mine to the list

AMD Phenom II 940 @ 3Ghz
4GB DDR2 PC 1066
4870 1GB
Corsair P64 SSD

Here's mine after a new assessment.

Processor 6.9
Memory 7.2
Graphics 7.5
Gaming graphics 7.5
Primary hard disk 5.9

I'm actually surprised at my HDD score considering my drive is a 3 year old 500gb with only 16mb cashe (I think).

My graphic score is a bit more than I expected as well, but I have it running at 960/1301 currently.

The rest of my hardware is in my sig.

I'd really like to upgrade my cpu and add another vid card, but that probably won't happen anytime soon. Maybe, if the processor prices keep dropping :)

I winder if I ever really looked at these scores on my rig. I think I did once but don't remember them. I will have to check when I get home. I am sure I maxed out the HD score and GPU, need to see what the XMP memory profile ranks and the cpu with out any real OCing.

koVenant · 04-01-2010, 12:23 PM

I'm surprised that my Q6600 from 2+ years ago still pumps out a 7.2 with a relatively small OC of only 2.8ghz.

CPU - 7.2 Q6600
Ram - 7.1 4gb Crucial Ballistix
GFX - 7.7 HD5850
Gaming GFX - 7.7
HDD - 5.9 1tb Samsung

vsop · 04-01-2010, 08:46 PM

Processor 7.5
Memory 7.8
Graphics 7.5
Gaming graphics 7.5
Primary hard disk 7.9

these are with the stock 950 and memory settings, only oc is the normal turbo mode and xmp profile enabled on the memory. need to really oc the gpu and see what it can do

We have some older tough books at work we just got in from Iraq. We are trying to get them onto our network but we cant run no less than Vista Enterprise. But the toughbooks only have 256MB of RAM and vista enterprise needs atleast 2gigs. We installed WIN 7's today on one just to see what would happen. Runs like a dream on only 256MB's.. LOL!
