I get about 3700 mark in 3D Mark 2003. I am considering buying a PC that has
an AMD 64 3000+ chip in it - will I notice a major performance jump?

I use an 3000+ with MSI K8T Neo with promise raid sata working in 2260MHz
, it is very fast and easy to overclock, no problem, no crash, a real grey
supercomputer

click the menu the program open like a flah if you not look with very
atention you miss the splash screen
