:) Ya, lol the "Hardware" trouble was a semin00b problem (at least in my eyes) I have never built a PC before and i didn't know that the newest graphic cards need to be plugged into the power supply (usually they draw power from the m/b).

I am probably gonna get raptors for my b-day as it is in March. Also, in about 3 weeks, i am getting a kit to upgrade myself to 1GB of RAM (as noted in my sig).

Time to try and RB/CCE a DVD, just to see how fast it goes.

P.S. I was gonna run a burn-in test for about 12 hours
But, if i run one what program do you recommend?

Hey, i know this is off topic (sorry) but, i only scored 1948 on 3DMark05 with my new PC *shock*, without OCing is there a way to improve my score?

That score seems low for the hardware you posted.You definately could use more memory at least 1 gig.When running your benchmark did you shut down all backround programs.

@Wild, yes i did, i made sure and kill everything except what was needed to run Windows (barebones).
I upgraded to 1GB of DDR-SDRAM (PC 3200) so, i'll test it again today.

P.S. I am using 3DMark05.

I ran Aquamark3 and i got a score of: 32,738
Which is good according to Aquamark, it says "High Level of detail on Nox (new one, not yet out) with a score of 20,000 or more."

Try PriceScan.com for search. Usually Tigerdirect.com comes up right at the top along with NewEgg. They have a lot of really cool gaming cases, etc., as well as some really strange things you wouldn't find at CompUSA. I've been dealing with them for quite a while, no problems, quick shipping.

No all caps.

And to insert an image you put the url in between (img) (/img) ... but instead of using ( ) replace w/ [ ]
