W1zzard · Feb 29, 2008

read the rules. it has to complete nature which is DX9

Wile E · Feb 29, 2008

Is 03 SM2?

candle_86 · Feb 29, 2008

hehe, i got an idea, 3dmark05 will actully run a P2 450 with a 5200 64bit card with 64mb of memory with only 64mb of ram in the system. I might have a shot

but i see no reason to enter in all honesty there are alot of people out there who could actully use this.

Grings · Feb 29, 2008

cool, now wheres that 64bit 5200 i had laying about

alright, ill dig out some of my parts next tuesday when im off

Silverel · Feb 29, 2008

Hee.. this should be good... One of my old boards the AGP bus doesn't work at all, and I've got a damaged 9600 that goes about half the normal speed. I'll just take out the 2x256 sticks of pc2100 and put in the 128 that doesn't work with em, should be nice and slow...

AphexDreamer · Feb 29, 2008

Hey is Underclocking not allowed???

Jimmy 2004 · Feb 29, 2008

Is underclocking allowed?

An underclocked 9550 on an underclocked 2GHz Celeron with 64MB of underclocked RAM sounds good

pagalms · Feb 29, 2008

Nice.

I have MX440 SE an half-working Ti4600 (need to solder some parts on it). Will try to run 3dmark on these cards.

W1zzard · Feb 29, 2008

since underclocking is not forbidden in the rules i assume it is allowed.

hacker111 · Feb 29, 2008

Who came up with the "PIMP MY RIG" saying..nice

AphexDreamer · Feb 29, 2008

It would be funny is the person with the lowest score had the most expensive hardware. :laugh:

pagalms · Feb 29, 2008

Underclocking + some programs running in background + enable all services and we will get a killer score

Oh noes, MX 440 SE supports only Wings Of Fury game test

But i got 47 marks in it

cdawall · Feb 29, 2008

shit my 7500 is not aloud i score 470 with that!

bet i can get my 7800 to score <100pts

PaulieG · Feb 29, 2008

Yeah this competition is stupid, what if somebody will running video compressing in the background, and after he/she will get 3 score. Is that the winner?

xfire · Feb 29, 2008

I have a <200mhz celron with 32 mb ram

.
Are Indian resident's allowed?

pagalms · Feb 29, 2008

Of course

It's a worldwide competition.

InnocentCriminal · Feb 29, 2008

I'll be entering, I doubt I'll be last but it'll be fun non-the-less... y'know, shits 'n' giggles and all that.

Good luck to everyone that enters!
