I think all of you with the uber computers should run 3D mark 06 when it comes out, which is tommorow (the 18th) I think
It will probaly look awesome, and your computers will probaly be choppy as hell

my current graphics card would just die, i have had it so long now i thought it was 128MB turned out when i was doing some system stuff its only 64MB, no wonder the things crashes out on games, it cant even handle cs properly these days,
the shame, still i bought an improved one the other day for the lan, so i should just be able to keep up now, think my score is going to be rather low, especially as i saw the dell PC with the 4 grpahics card linked, damn thats got to be good

Well whilst we are talking about dell just got one question. My uncle wants to buy a new pc, i suggested that he should get one custom built which will be alot cheaper then buying on dell. However i also said that because he only uses it for some basic things, he should just get one from dell for about £500 (his budget is actually £1000). What do you think guys.
Note: PC building labour will be free, i knw some 1 who can do it.
P.S. greg, can you build pc's?

so between you and the fish, do you reckon his athlon 64 or X800 card makes the most difference compared to yours, just out of interest.

580mb for a feckin' DEMO? Forget THAT.
Tested with 3dMark '03 instead, got 9482. Is that good or bad – I assume higher is better?
