nah, particle is the man, he was completely right, i put my gforce3 TI back in and poof score shot up to 8600. I was under the assumption that Gforce4 started where the Gforce3 ended, boy was i wrong. On top of scoring almost 4 times as much, it was capable of running all 17 of the tests and not just 13 of em. Its not a software issue im fairly sure, i run pretty rigid spyware protection, and keep pretty close tabs on anything that runs on my computer.
I use RegCleaner, how does that program you use compare? i've never really found anything else suitable, or comparable.
and nesso, could be how you phrased it, i dont knwo the original context of your post, but it helps to be very clear to the point and provide as much up front information as you can, so people dont have to ask. When i showed particle, he scanned the list (i assumed he jumped to the vid card) and he recognized that that series is horrible or what not.
One thing that would be nice, just since these are posted, what do you guys think of certain things? like busspeed and particular stats, im pretty knowledgable in computers, but not in detail, is there anything else i should be worrying about? since nearly everything is new parts, minus the hard-drives.
