The new 3dmark results....I have to admit, considering the following, the score is not that bad.

ASROCKS Alive NF7G-HD720p mATX Mobo
AMD Phenom Black Edition 9600+ (OC to 2.48 GHz)
2 Gb DDR2 800 MHz (5-5-5-18)
eVGA 8600 GTS 256MB (OC to 720MHz)
120 BG Seagate Baracuda SATA
WinXP Pro (32bit)

I believe the memory and the smaller Graphics card is holding back some major points...If you notice, the CPU scores 1000 pts. higher than some AMD 6000 chips running at 3 GHz.

We tried to get the CPU OC'd a bit higher, but lost stability.
However, the temp stays below 40 degrees. So I am pleased with that aspect of it.

Well, I am considering a memory upgrade in the near future, however the vid card may waite a little while. The price seems to be steadily dropping on the 8800gt. I am concerned about heat though...I had to mount an additional fan over my vid card last night to try and bring it down a few degrees. So far is idling at 51 degrees. Clocked at 702.
