this helps a ton! I really need to get to the point of finding these findings for myself. I guess the more you bench, the more you learn! Thanks master massman!

I'll be throwing up my only processor I own on DICE soon. It happens to be a peach of a Deneb. + a modded GTX 275 and maybe I'll buy a 4890 and mod it too. Put them on DICE and see what I can grab! - I've been searching up reviews for 3D01 benchmarks between the GTX275 and 4890. I can't seem to find any concluding results as to the better card of the two for this choice of benchmark. Does anyone have a link or something that has a run down of these two cards within 3D01.

Hey can I borrow your assistant for a late night bench with my Pentium 4 . I've gotten great scores and feedback with it! - Nice one though, really

I caught a drift of sarcasm in your reply chew*. If I'm wrong correct me... Yes the 1090T memory controller issues will play a huge roll, but the GPU of choice is going to be the leading factor if you ask me.

I think it's really going to come down to the GPU. A good Phenom clock in 3DMark 01 should be enough..

Mmm looks like I'm going to have to get me a GTX 275! 5770 isn't going to cut it for 01!

No limits on XF or SLI? I think it should be single card.

I'm going to try and take it with a 955 BE. I don't think I can compete with the 1090's though

Got more coming this weekend! This was just a test run to get everything installed and configured and learn the submissions process etc... Stay tuned here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=4385878#post4385878)

I got these two processors for this competition today. Need to find a s478 chipset board though, and memory... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=250590948653&view=all&tid=560882695015 & http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260562665252&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
