That's BS. Never understood why they do that. Well, I mean, I know why they do, it's just stupid.

Yeah, it's pretty lame!
I think the contract runs out in February though, so we'll see what's around then.

8G total bandwidth or downloads? Hell I bet you shave off several hundred megs of packets just gaming each month online.
I wouldn't hit that refresh button that much then lol.
Do you have like the cheapest service?

Downloads. I haven't actually gamed online for a good while, but yeah, I bet you're right.
Nope, it's not the cheapest. They were Ok, then the company changed, so the contract got re-newed. Then, they upgraded our speed, then the contract got re-newed again, so we're stuck with 'em for now. Unless we buy our way out, which isn't going to happen!

I'd say you'd get 15-16k. Unless you get that quad up to 3.4-3.6Ghz.

are you kidding? My cpu and gpu are at their limits, and if you look at the scores you can see that I'm beating people with a similar setup.
My cpu is unstable at 3.4 ghz with 1.45 V but I went to 3.45 with 1.475 V! Stock is 1.4V. Even though temps were cool AMD's aren't so good at OC so it wasn't stable.
A stock 9600 gt is 650 / 1800 / 1650. I had it at 750 / 2190 / 1825. That is a huge overclock, don't tell me I can get 12000, cause it's impossible.
I think with stock settings I had around 10000, I oc and I got it to 11000 which is pretty big for me, cause AMD is poor at overclocking. I might try to get 3.6, or higher stable but I got a BSOD, error 0x44
ok fair enough, my bad.
i just would have thought you could get that chip a bit higher, but you prove me wrong.
very nice Mac,SLI GTs realy do pump up that score.
Thanks, i tried to go 723/964 but it kept crashing.
Next goal is 17000, should be fun
will closing most background apps including aero up the score a little?

I think you can still get higher if you oc the e8400 more.
You have low voltage at 3.6--upping a tad will get you to 4ghz!!
