You and ominub are getting the same score but yet your computer is better then ominub's. Here is a comparison

Jason1
P4 2.66ghz
512Mb's DDRAM
80Gig HD
Saphire ATI Radeon 9500PRO

ominub
AMD 2500+XP Barton
768 Megs DDR PC2700 ram
40Gig HD
Geforce FX 5200

Now I can only think of one reason why you (Jason) might be getting a score that should be higher for what you have. You probably have not so good ram. Like PC-2100 ram from a generic company. But I could be wrong. And maybe something else caused it.....

How exactly is my system any better than ominub's? He has more RAM, and a better Graphics Card. Mine might be a little faster mhz wise, but he has me beat on everything else(HD size means nothing in this discussion.) And as for my RAM: [DDR400] 512MB PC3200 Memory.

The HD thing was there just because you had it and I didn't feel like cutting it out because I was lazy. But still, your score should've been a little higher. The only other thing I can think of for you getting a 5200 is that you were running other programs in the background when you did the benchmark. But I still could be wrong. But I'll just stop thinking and move on

Random, I'd check this site out too. It seems to be run much the same way (through a yahoo site) I put the machine I want to buy into both that and ibuypower and this site was about 150$ cheaper.

sorry, that's the link to the p4 systems, but I'm sure you'll find your way.

Thanks for the link, but I found a computer with about the same specs (slightly better mother board and a few other things)... yet it was almost $70 more expensive. IBuyPower's deal is supposedly on a sale, so it's actually cheaper than Cyperpower's.
