What are you using in your system?

you may think that pc is old and horrible, but ill tell you wha,t I would take that as of right now. See my thread in rtcw if an explanation is needed.

hahahaha --> pentuim IV 2000Ghz
512mb ddr ram
Geforce 4 TI 500
cd 48x speed
cdrw 32x52 speed
21" sony screen 75hz
two hard disks of 60G

i love my machine

P4 1.6 Ghz Oced to 2.208 Ghz... that .008 makes all the diference
512 DDR
Geforce 3 (the original one no number) Oced to geforce 4 4400
80 gig hard drive
SB live!
A small ass 15 in. monitor (i really need a new one)

And as of now my schools ethernet is screwed way the hell up and im only getting 56k speed, so it is a bitch to post now. I havent been able to play BF all day and the patch is supposed to come out today or tommorrow. Just perfect time for the webconnect to go to hell damn it.

WinXPpro (5.1.2600)
AMD Palomino @ 1.56GHz (XP1900+)
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
Total Physical Memory: 1GB
Hard Drive: 2x 40GB
Motherboard: Soyo VT8367-8233A (5.1 sound / 10/100nic on board)

What do you use for your HSF? How many case fans?

I didnt build the comp MMmm. A friend built it for me. So i dont know what HSF means. But it has 2 case fans, the internal processor fan and a monster heat sink.

Who OCed it?

Co-worker that i work with in produce at a grocery store. But he also own a website you know the kind;) , and he makes his owns computers and runs his own server off of a T 1 line. I wont see him until im on xmas break and working again. His site is broadbanpussy.com, but i wouldnt go to his site its heavy on pop up windows and such. You might be able to email him if you can find a link but i doubt it. I can PM his email or were he got his info for you if i see him before then, but if not ill post it when i go home over break. If you do find an email on the site PM or im my aim account it is in my profile so i can tell you my name so he knows who sent you.

No offense, Quasi, but just because you have two CPUs, doesn't mean your system runs twice as fast. In fact, a lot of programs don't even take advantage of a dual-CPU setup, except your operating system (Only if it's WinXP Pro or Windows 2000).

Ok ..ok I hate to rehash this again but I've been gone for awhile and since quazi replied to my post and i've read all of the rest of the insuing posts I had to reply to ZOG that please don't forget linux in the above quote.Also you are right when you said it's for running two games on one machine because that is what I use mine for, But i'd like to tell you and MMMmmm that what I think quazi is seeing is in the proformance in task manager I also have win2k server running and it looks like when i'm running just one game that both of the processors are running exactly the same.So I think he is confused and dazed with this and he is mcse and cisco?WOW where do I sign up...Sorry quazi had to do it.

ok, here are my new and improved system specs that I hopefully will have before Thanksgiving. (ground shipping...ugh)


INTEL Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, Socket 478, 512K, 533MHz fsb
COOLER MASTER, Socket 478 Cooling Fan
ECS L4S8A2, supports USB 2.0, ATA-133,8x agp
SAMSUNG 512Mb PC2700 DDR, 333MHz,
COOLER MASTER, Case Fan, 2in. x 2in.
MAJOR, Mid Tower, 300 Watt PS, Front USB, ATX
gf4 ti 4200-128mb
maxtor 40gb hard drive-7200rpm, ata-133
sb live! /w 4.1 surround sound speakers
phillips 17" flat screen monitor
HP cdrw drive (dont remember the speeds)
comcast cable(1.5mbps down/128kbps up)
oh...and yes...im still using windows 98 SE.


any predictions as to what my 3dMark benchmark score will be?

Also I went over to madonion.com to check out some other peoples benchmark scores. I looked at their top ten highest scores, they were all over 20,000. Those bastards overclocked the shit out of their processors.
there were some p4 2.5 ghz clocked to damn near 4ghz. And I thought MMmmgood was overclock happy.

Heh, I could get my 2.4 probably up to 3.4 and be stable....but my mobo literally wont go that high. I am the highest setting that my board can go.

Also keep in mind that those people overclock the hell outta their computers, but they arent stable.

They run long enough to finish the tests, maybe, then they reboot.

I just took a look at the #1 guy, with a score of 21504, and he cheated.

Notice his FSB is 9729 mhz, impossible. He altered the score to get it that high. My FSB runs at 156 mhz.


The guy in second i believe. He supercools his entire machine and is using a P4 3.06 ghz to start with, so I believe he got it to 4.0 ghz.

Although this incredibly stresses the system to run it like this, and their computer is highly unstable, they got a high score. Their Vcore is 1.8+, and you can fry it at 1.85.

hey mmmmgood, why do all those guys have p4 with FSb under 200.
The high end p4s have 533 mhz fsb. Do you lose fsb speed due to overclocking the cpu?

FSBs are quad-pumped. If it says 533mhz FSB, that means it runs at 133 mhz. At least P4s are...

Hey Dogster,

I never overclock anything in my PC, exactly for the reasons MmmmGood explained...instability, and extreme stress on your system. Give me a stable and fast system over some tweaked and pumped rocketship that crashed more than four times aday.

My highest 3DMark2001SE score was somewhere in the vicintity of 13600, and that was with an ATi Radeon Pro 9700 video card, which was a bit less stable than I liked and I ended up returing in i favor oif my old G-Force4 t14600....which topped out with a 10600 3DMark.

I have an Athlon 2000+ XP
512MB DDR PC2100
PNY G-Force4 ti 4600
MSI MS-6373 m/b with nForce chipset
550 Watt power supply
