This benchmark is obviously for the ultimate of ultimate computer gaming systems. After downloading the file and running it on my primary game machine it was like watching a frame show. :'(
My results:
3DMarks: 711
SM2.0 Score: 351
HDR/SM3.0 Score: N/A
CPU Score: 517
Apparently it's time to upgrade my gaming system.

Apparently it's time to upgrade my gaming system.
Just curious, what are your computer specs now?
I'm thinking about upgrading myself. (Asus P4P800 Deluxe)
P4 2.4 GHz --> 3.0GHz
512 MB RAM --> 1 GB
128 MB AGP Video --> 256 MB
A planned, one off, upgrade, next time it's a new computer.
