3DMark 06 - just downloaded it and ran it andd, my pc got OK results but they SHOULD be better.

Asus P5GPL-X Mobo
Intel P4 W/HT (Dual Core) 3.0Ghz
1GB Dual Channel DDR
160GB Maxxtor 7200rpm
SoundMax HD Onboard Sound
ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB PCI-E

I got like , averages on 2 demos of 5-13 fps which is actually good for a decent CPU RAM and SINGLE VID CARD. and one demo i was rockin it w/ like 80-95 fps, then the last one was around 23-45 fps. They also ran AA,and AF tests as well. I was average, above, and below. I dont know if i shud get a new CROSSFIRE chipset motherboard, and second video card, or get a new video card, or get more ram ?

I found a few ATI chipset'd mobo's w/ sck 775 for p4 and 2 pci-e slots. I haven't really added what the price would be for all, ram being cheapest (99-140) new video card (200-350) and mobo & second vid card (100-150+250-300) so ... do the math lol. Gimme some insight heer please !!!

HT just makes your computer thinks you have two processors when there's only one. Ofcourse the performance would be no where near dual core processors.

@big_tymes52: Don't go crossfire, not worth it. Just get a motherboard and a new videocard. But if it was up to me, i'd upgrade the CPU first, then video card.
 
ok cool .. yea after the new year if i have some money i think i might upgrade .. but for now i dont really need to. I dont need a super awesome amazing comp to play WoW , Guild Wars, CS 1.6 CZ and Source ,,, along with a common Just Cause, company of heroes , bf 2142 and some NHL 07 lol :) thanks guys
