CPU upgrade = slower?
Hi, i recently got a free upgrade of a amd 3200 64 90nm cpu from my normal 3000xp, and just as a tester i ran a 3dmark05 demo, i got 4400 before and now i'm getting 4150~. I've had to change the mobo, is some bios settings? It's just kinda weird, this was a gradual upgrade, as i did have a 9700pro, then went to a 6800gt, went from 2250~ to 4450~ with the 3000xp cpu. Then when a bring in the faster cpu(and it's 64bit) it's about 250 or so points down. I know this program isnt the end all of everything, but i was just expecting an increase. I've got a 6800gt 3200 64 amd 1gig of RAM and an msi neo2 plat Any help appreciated, as i'm a bit confused here. |

It could be a factor as far as your benchmark scores. |

Fresh install of OS.. Latest chipset driver and all other driver you may need BIOS upgrade and optimum BIOS settings.. Cheers "Bishop" wrote in message ...
