So I've got my new rig running Vista 64 with a E1200 overclocked and stable at 3.2ghz. The CPU Score part is about 2500.

My overall score is about 11000 with my X2. I've seen others with scores near 19000.

I also have read about problems using both GPU's with an X2. Mine is the Diamond version with their latest drivers.

Any thoughts?

I am willing to bet that it's your CPU bottlenecking you. Once you get your Quad, it will jump quite a bit.

Another thing you could try just for elimination purposes right click the desktop select propertys / settings/ advanced and check this option to see if its enabled or not.

If it is try dissableing it then check preformance again.This is racking my brain now lol weve been through the whole text book nearly:laugh:



well help out a bit
