Whats the faster system?

Its not true, but I get what he is saying and kind of feel the same. It's like putting a Ford Motor in a Chevy, or vise versa, since AMD/ATI are now one company. The performance might be awesome, but makes me feel like it's a bastard child.

so you wouldnt run a 5970 + i7 because it 'feels' wrong? thats retarded.

I have a 5850 in a I7 920 and it runs better than when it was ran in my 965BE system? i still dont get the point?
 
I'm not saying I wouldn't calm down there flamers, jesus. But apparently the point went right over your heads. Also comparing a 965 Be and a 920 is a bad comparison, be better to compare to a 1055t (like my setup).

I'm just saying it's brand crossing, and that I understand what he is saying to a point. If you aren't into cars, then I can't really find another comparison, but the chevy motor in a ford or vise versa, that always start heated debates.
 
I understand what you were saying, i was just point out the performance part and not the "cross sex genderization"

Don't worry dude, the Chevy Ford comparison was dead ass on. I get what you were saying :cool:
 
Its not like its gonna run slower, but its just the feeling u know:
I WOULD FEEL LIKE A TRAITOR U KNOW! :respect:

Anyways here the KINDA SURPRISING #D mark score for Following System:

----------------
CPU: Intel Pentium4 2.80GHz 512KB l2
GPU: ATI Radeon 9800 AGP 4x
RAM: 1GB DDR RAM PC2100
HDD: 120GB ATA IDE Western Digital 7200rpm
-----------------

6308!!!! WOW

Hell! if you have another slot, throw in that extra 512mb of ram from PC #3 and see if that may increase it alittle more LOLZ

In a way it is, and another it isn't. Since Intel is not owned or even seeming to be on good terms with NV. But AMD/ATI is a company, so I just mean it in that respect.

There you go, much better results, think you found your answer, if you want to try a bit more, swap HDD's, but that shouldn't make that large of a difference.

yea i see your point,

i love messing with older machines (S478, Socket A, and Socket 754)

They bring back memories!
 
Im gonna try to finde two of the same kinde 512MB DDR RAMs so i can enter dual channel mode!
Hope, that its gonna rise the score alittle bir more!!!! :respect:

I only have Socket 370/Socket A (462) and Socket 478 Systems in my house!!!!
I never had a better system than those and though i run win7 on my best system:

Pentium4 3.20GHz
NVidia GeForce 7800GS
2GB DDR Ram Dual Channel
160GB WD 7200rpm

And with a 3D Mark 2001 Score of 1181 im really proude of it, and im not planing

(LOL i accedntly wrote NVidia Radeon!!!!! first)
 
#1 only good for the GPU.
#2 is faster than the rest.
#3 only good for the HDD.

Do you mean 11,181? and is that AGP? (Just seems abit low to me)

Because i have scored 22,920 with the following set up, in 3D Mark 2001,

AMD 3700+ 2.2GHz
Nvidia 7600GT
1 or 2GB of DDR400

and this was from 3yrs ago.

Edit: I also remember my M8s old 478 system and it's specs are the same as yours but had a 7600GT AGP and it scored around 17,000 in 3DMark 2001
 
Jop i got the 3D mark 2001 score for default settings:
(LOL All 3 System are standing in my room right now!!! Oh man my parents are gonna kill me when they get the monthly energy bill!!)

System 1:
4639

System 2:
3994

System 3:
4145

But like u all said:
No 1s RAM SUX
NO 2 has CRAPY GRAKA
no 3 has low RAM
no way it (first rig) only managed that much! those days i used to get well over 14k in 3dMark01 with a 9700Pro + AthlonXP @ 2.2 >_>

Lolz is 11K bad? :ohwell:
Thats what i get. :ohwell:

Did you realize he only has SDRAM PC-133 in the first rig?

Thats exactly my problem!!!
Because have SD RAM in that MOBO, it slows down the Radeon's DDR!!!
So my graka cant enfold its whole potential! :(

Don't think of me as a douche. But there's nothing to expect from such an old card. Its whole potential wouldn't even come close to Intel GMA 4500 even!

not at the point when this hardware was made, it's more ford + edelbrock and chevy + holley,

they can certainly swap without issue but for some reason that's what's been most common for aftermarket mods on older muscle cars I've seen.

in this case it was actually more common to find a geforce 4 ti (or FX5900) + athlon xp and P4 + 9800 than it was athlon xp + 9800 and P4 + geforce 4 ti (or FX5900)

this was mostly due to the popularity of the nforce2 chipset for the 462 platform.



at any rate there are pretty big variations that would determine which is faster item 1 on the 2800+ is it a Thoroughbred or barton? and if barton does it have a 266MHZ fsb or 333?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_microprocessors

on the p4 is it nothwood or prescott, if northwood 400fsb, 533, or 800? if prescott 533fsb or 800?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_4_microprocessors

AXP 2800+ 2250 MHZ 333fsb 256kb l2 thoroughbred > P4 2.8 400fsb 512 l2 northwood
AXP 2800+ 2250 MHZ 333fsb 256kb l2 thoroughbred < P4 2.8 533fsb 512 l2 northwood
AXP 2800+ 2133 MHZ 266fsb 512kb l2 barton = P4 2.8 533fsb 512 l2 northwood
AXP 2800+ 2083 MHZ 333fsb 512kb l2 barton > P4 2.8 533fsb 512 l2 northwood
AXP 2800+ 2083 MHZ 333fsb 512kb l2 barton < P4 2.8 800fsb 512 l2 northwood
AXP 2800+ 2083 MHZ 333fsb 512kb l2 barton = P4 2.8 533fsb 1024 l2 prescott
AXP 2800+ 2083 MHZ 333fsb 512kb l2 barton < P4 2.8 800fsb 1024 l2 prescott

Well its not as high as i thought it should be (for your main rig) You should be scoring about the same if not more then my m8s old rig since you have a 7800GS. I have a feeeeling its windows 7 that's slowing it down? i ran SLi 7600GTs in windows 7 and it could barely run COD5, went back to XP and i could run the game at Medium settings.

Whats the ATi 9800 equivalent to?

I have an old score here with a AMD 2100+ with a FX5700 and it scored just under 9000 in 3DMark 2001
