    i think you can run better on vista or w7 that is a hd or ssd dependant bench.something to do with better scoring in certain sections.
    iram and raid cards sorta thing.
    i'm no good at it,the tricks used by the pros i know did not share much.
    pm chispy for tips he held a few records on that bench :)

    good luck you guys i'm off to load up vista
    try not to kill anyhing but push it to the limits:)

    I think I've two 10k 36GB Raptors I could raid in Vista/7/XP. AT least access times should drop low enough to give a better score.

    Aquamark scores like 80k more in winxp :nerd:


    win7: 140,893

    winxp: 222,312


    edit: and 3dmark 2000 needs to run in Win98/WinMe compatibility mode or it wouldn't start..

    lol that's the truth under win7 my score is horrible, under xp64 it's 200k+

    here's something I never understood about the 3dmark series, I've tested this with fraps, playclaw and several other programs..

    wonder what the discrepancy is

    http://i55.tinypic.com/314yoih.jpg

    in testing 01, 03, vantage & 11, all fps checking programs are rigth on in thier comparison of the 3dmark fps readout and the other fps checking programs
    but in 05/06 the discrepancies are huge.. in gaming using all fps checking programs along side the built in ones like the BF series, and others, they are also correct in their readout, it's just 05/06 that are hugely different

    AM3 and 2001 give crap score under win7 ,,, even using compatibility mode and or special patch for them ..... maybe something with priority can help, but well not success for now..

    need think to put an xp on a HDD for get some scores ...

    AM3 is higly CPU limited, are most gpu's are now quite too much for it... so yes faster is the cpu, and higher will be the result ... on the 3Dmark01, the problem is quite the same, but there's some tricks with memory and HDD access on some benches, ofc there's still LOD bias too but i never use them. ( really important on3Dmark01)

    that's why I dual boot, for dx9 games, win7 is just terrible, so I boot to xp64 and enjoy the speed, where as xp64 on some of the newer games using dx9 mode is just ugly and terrible..

    Well in the newer benches Im much faster obviously, but need to pick up my score in the older ones. Plenty of points to be had if I can. Might put xp on another disk and see.

    Its either the web test, so ensure you have IE set up, or the transparent windows test. Dont set anything like 'disable visual themes' or whatever in the compatibility tab of the shortcut.

    Also dont have any other program windows running above PC Mark.

    Had this myself.

    Im going to start benching this weekend, been working on my overclock settings for my cpu. BZ did you try uninstalling and reinstalling. or right click the icon then click properties then select compatability and finally disable desktop composition?

    have tried re-installing without any change but haven't tried compatibiliity settings, gonna try that now.

    ok tommy!
    will try to stop by on sunday to drop that chip off if you need anything else tell me before i leave.
