    I'm scoring 2502 with the specs below in my sig

    My mate is scoring 2467 on an AMD2500, single 512mb of PC2700 with a 9800 pro on an NF7 S2

    I set up his PC and its not clocked at all, and both systems are using same drivers

    Only point of note is I am using 1x 512mb and 2x256mb sticks, so am not getting dual channeling benefit or single stick benefit

    we both have the exact same vid card from the same manufacturer (I bought them both)

    What gives - would it be all down to the ram? Or could it be he just lucked out and got a faster GPU or faster vid card memory? Vid cards were bought about 3 months apart...

    Both systems are on fresh installs with all updates for drivers and windows done - his is single hd rather than raid

    Ideas?

    Update: another boards user ,badcharlie, gets the exact same score as me with almost the exact same spec

    He's using an overclocked 2500 and same amount of ram and same card (unless the NP in his sig refers to no-pro)

    what do you score in 03/01? Score seems about right to me, possibly a little low - tried tightening up your ram timings or anything else to improve?

    score seems about right to me too - its trying to explain how he gets practically the same on so much less thats pussling me - I'm thinking he might have gotten an XT by mistake (should just have been a standard pro)...

    I'll run the other benchs and see if they come up different too
