As you go down the years, from 3Dmark06 to 05 to 04 and previous versions your score will increase because the program/benchmark is outdated, and as such it will run better on newer hardware, so saying a score from a previous version of 3D mark means very little...
Only reason im even considering upgrading to vista is that most new games are going to be designed for it and i have the dx10 cards... so im pretty much set.
Maybe just take down the effects of vista abit. That should help at least slightly. Oh btw, im a GameMaker too. I See you have a gm6/gmk file on your desktop.
Ya we are using game maker for school and i had to finish it at home so i emailed the gmk file hoe, i dont usually do it at home for fun but occasionally i fool around with it
Yea well most people arent planning on spending that much cash on a computer to run an os when they can get an os that does the same things with less driver incompatibility issues for cheaper
