    Surely anyone with enough money can quite easily crack 22k?

    I mean if I had the cash I could just order all the bits and beat it?..

    Not without serious overclocking, beyond normal methods, like dry ice and liquid nitrogen

    tbh you'd want to be using solid state drives for this if using ln2, the stuff evaporates way fast. you'd prolly get 10 mins out of the 20-30L - get everything booted as quick as possible :)

    Guys i have done 26k in 3d06 6 months ago. 22k is not difficult. Our target must be 30k.
    We just need 2 3870x2 and ddr3 memories with a x38 or x48 mobo.
    My 9650 can do 5,5ghz on cascade for 3d06.

    That does sound wrong, even the GMA900/950 can pull a muscular 200-ish. :D

    Nope, its a fine art, You have to get a machine that will actually run it.... Just run it terribly :D

    Im gonna start with a 2.4ghz P4 512mb ram FX5200 and run 3dMark from a USB stick, then work my way down.... I predict 350 points

    a 2500+ and a fx5200

    not mine but lol that sucks


    the slowest card you can run it with is the fx5200
    so it has to be Dx9 anyway :D

    :D

    I think you will win, i'm going to underclock the FX5200 as far as it will go and run a defrag in the background!

    *edit* it seems it has the default windows driver for a FX5200 so I can't underclock it :(

    Nah you won't 'top' 39 by Conzy, the GMA900 is far better then the Fx5200 in 3dmark!

    Is the 9200 dx9 or dx8....I have an old 9200le here. about 20% slower then an fx5200.

    edit: damn, dx8. Now, if someone could get the 64-bit, 64mb PCI version of the fx5200...:D
