Hi, I get 5707 3DMarks from my bog standard hardware. Little point in upgrading just the CPU if you've a lowly gfx card if you're just after gameplay..

Well i do a lot of video encoding so it makes a huge difference , but my graphics card is the main issue , going to upgrade it soon so atleast i can play games if i want to .....my old 2ghz processor was slow plus having the x9100 cpu it has now allowed the ram to run at full speed ..extra bonus .
Should of run 3d mark on old cpu before i changed it .

Cheers for the info.

Hi
well mine before upgarde to X9100 had the same cpu as yours and mine has a 9600m gs graphics card , my index score is 4.8 but that is due to the graphics card ..
Here is all the scores for you on windows 7 64bit -

Processor -6.6
Memory (ram ) -6.6
Graphics -4.8
Gaming graphics -6.1
Primary Hard disk - 7.3

Hope it helps

Should the op. system make a difference? I'm only on Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. I noticed when I first upgraded (free from Acer) that the Index rating dropped compared to what it was on Vista....

what are your scores on windows 7 ? i dunno if it makes a difference using the 64bit version ....i have mine dual booting so will see what scores are on that and will report back

[Karlos103]

Right here is my scores on windows vista home premium 32bit -

processor - 5.7
memory(ram) -5.9
graphics -4.8
gaming graphics -5.3
primary hard drive - 5.3

my primary hard drive score on last results for windows 7 ultimate 64bit was 7.3 as that is my ssd , vista is on a 320gb 7200rpm western digital hd ...thats the only difference in hardware

hope these help
