>the machine with the better CPU/memory subsystem has the upper hand I understand that. In evaluating my 3DMark score, I compared it only against P4's with the same video card. Since that is held constant, what I'm seeing is a comparison of the performance of my CPU/memory subsystem vs. that of the P4's. I'm trying to squeeze out all the FSB and DDR bandwith I can in order the maximize the performance of the CPU/memory subsystem. It pays off both in 3DMark scores, and in FS2002.Thanks for the insights.-Basil

I've read that article, and now skimmed it several times, and cannot figure out how to actually download anything. Doesn't seem to be any links or instructions on how to actually get the "package."-Basil
