personally i'm just wary of using a bench test to predict performance in real world programs, because a good programmer can make a lean & mean program that produces great results on low spec hardware, and a bad programmer can easily create a hog that achieves very little on even the highest spec PCs.

This is true, and very well stated.

So which benchmark do you think measures the "hogs" and which one do you think measures the 'lean and mean?"

Meh, I think I have just shy of 6k, although I am running dx 9 on my Ge Force MX 440 128MB card. And at defaults for the video card too.

um... off the top of my head, i can&#39;t think of one that i&#39;d say is an accurate representation of overall performance. there prolly isn&#39;t one. hence the reason why most review sites put video cards through a series of tests, both synthetic benches and time-demos from retail games.

as far as i know, there is no simple one-size-fits-all test that&#39;ll show you how well a system will run all games.

cant remember my score, but i got like 15,000 somethin last time i ran the benchmark on 2001. Wont let me install it cause i got DirectX 9.. that&#39;s a bunch of crap.

Maybe you have faster ram than him.....
