One thing to say WOW The scores I have managed to get on 3DMark03 absolutely blew away my 9800XT 9800XT was 4078 and the 6600GT was 8315 ! http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4361128 You must have had one of the slowest 9800XT's around. My 9800 Pro would do 6150 at XT clockings on a stock Barton 3200. |

I think one of the reason it was slower is that it was a counterfeit one I
bought off of EBay ! Finally got my money back from PayPal. and got the 6600GT. Another reason I think the score is lower, I have a lot of other programs running at the same time. currently 42 processes on at this time.. UGGG Think I will cancel them all and get a true score...

Mine is around there right after boot, and apart from one or two all are necessary for everyday use (firewall/antivirus/spyware services, couple of monitoring/diagnostic type programs on top of basic windows services and drivers) which are always running no matter what I do. So why not benchmark with them on and get a "real life" score. Of course, the best possible score is achieved with turning some of them of. But to me that's not important; who cares what the performance can be at that state, when the computer is never running in that state. |

I have 26 running for everyday usage, including firewall, antivirus, etc. You probably have a lot of stuff that's not necessary. By default XP runs a ton of things no home user will ever need, some of which can even make your system less secure. Here's a guide to which services you should be able to disable safely: http://www.overclockersclub.com/guid...p_services.php RF. |

By default XP runs a ton of things no home user will ever need, some of which can even make your system less secure. Not really. Maybe one or two indifferent ones, but for the most part no; sort of semi-server machine for a home-lan. High number of processes alone doesn't necessarily mean a resource heavy system. Most of them are idling anyway. Dropping some system services propably wouldn't change the process count much anyway. No doubt some optimization could be done, but I see no real reason to do so. iirc, a plain vanilla winxp pro installation with absolutely nothing else installed runs at about 35 processes (some of them indeed not necessary). Add to that third party security programs, hardware drivers (graphics, sound, printer, scanner) and some other minor things, and I'd propably go over fifty. |
