P4 1.7ghz 256mb RDRAM 20gig 7200rpm 20gig 5400rpm Score: CPU 4098 Memory 4164 HDD 655

If you read the latest CPU benchmarks, AMD no longer outperforms the Northwood P4. They are however a better choice valuewise if you compare pricing.

Maximum Reboot has posted a new nVidia 27.52 detonator driver for Windows 2000 and Windows XP http://www.maxreboot.com/newspro/viewnews....1015884824,9447,

I would suggest a reformat and not to install any drivers for the video card first and observe it.

That's because he's in Japan while you have New York time.

Best of luck bro, we'll surely miss ya!

Nice work guys!

Although we've been hearing about it for a while now, Rambus has now officially announced and demonstrated its PC1066 RDRAM technology. Compared to today's PC800, which runs at an effective rate of 800MHz, the new RDRAM raises the ante to 1.066GHz and creates lots of headroom for high-performance processors.

There's an error in showing your attachment/pic.

I got that at PC Pitstop too when my PC was brand spanking new. I tried going back to FAT 32 and re-tested, sure enough my scores were higher. However whenever it was time to defragment my drives, it just took too long compared to NTFS, plus the speed gain wasn't really noticable, so back to NTFS I went.

How old are those gigabyte motherboards?
