Right. Just re-installed XP and mobo and graphics card drivers etc, and I've just tried to up date windows and it seems my "evaluation copy" (snigger) of xp has finally been cought by windows genuine advantage. I didn't do too bad considering I got it in early 2003 and have reinstalled it >5 times. Still that means I have to get a proper copy, so hopefully i can find someone to sell me an OEM version...
Anyway, I digress.... Having only XP without SP1 or 2, and only basic hardware updates and DX9b, I managed to pull 46000 aquamark points out of the bag! I feel better.
Does that score sound reasonable considering my setup? (I've replaced my mobo with a Gigabyte 7nf-RZ too)...
Hit me back, Techies!
