Yeah, but I would like to show my e-peen.:p Its not about winning everytime.

From my memory I found that I still have a desktop cabinet at my house, laying aside for last 11-12 years. That rig have Intel celeron-d and integrated graphics. If I can make it run again by any chance, beat that!!

system requirements of 3DMark 03:
Minimum System Recommendations
x86 compatible processor, 1000MHz (PCMark2002 CPU score of over 2500)
256MB of RAM (512MB recommended)
~400MB of free hard drive space (installed)
Windows® 98/SE/ME/2000/XP
DirectX®9.0c or later
DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapter that has 32MB of memory and is fully DirectX 7 compliant

grab a GMA 900 based board & add a DDR1-200Mhz stick (& underclock it if that junk of a board allows). drop in a Celeron processor & underlock it. the winner most likely will use something like this, or some VIA/S3 "thought to be extinct" card & underclock it to its limit. still the GMA should come at the bottom of thist.

So basically people with a P3 and some AGP gfx card have the biggest chance to win the first prize but everyone can try for the second prize anyway ;-)

Your PC beat the bootup time of my my old celeron PC. :lol:

News from my end: found my celeron-d rig today. But bad new news is, cpu fan is not spinning. :/ Planning to use some external cooling solution while testing.
:cool:
