Hi, this is REALLY important.. because i'm very very concerned about what is going on with my pc. . .
Ok, first of all, I have a:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ 2x512kb L2 cache
2048 MB (4200) Ram @533mhz
200 Gig hard-drive @7200 rpm
XFX GeForce 7600GT xXx Exition (factory overclocked), 256mb GDDR3
CD-RW, DVD-RW(DL)
300W PSU
OS - Microsoft Windows XP Media Centre 2005
I ran performance test 6.0 and this is what I got:
CPU Mark - 835.0
2D Graphics Mark - 777.4
Memory Mark - 396.7
Disk Mark - 405.7
CD Mark - 1783.4
3D Graphics Mark - 902.8
PassMark Rating - 754.7
Okay, I am especially worried abou the CPU and the memory . . .
CPU Mark (more closely)
Integer Math- 130.0
Floting Point Math- 721.3
Find Prime Numbers-226.2
SSE/3DNow!-2676.7
Compression-3723.3
Encryption- 27.3
Image Rotation- 596.4
String Sorting- 2272.1
I am quite worried about my CPU mark of 835.0 because i've seen a post where a Athlon x2 4200+ scored 1000 something.. and i got worried.. could i improve my mark somehow? should i re-install windows? because i bought this computer where it had the OS installed already.. and SOO many applications came with it.. maybe some of them slow my pc down?
Another thing i got REALLY worried about was my memory!
I know it isn't supposed to be THAT low of a mark!
Memory more closely:
Allocate Small Block - 1997.6
Read Cached - 938.6
Read Uncached - 880.3
Write - 947.0
Large Ram - 602.9
Memory Mark - 396.7
I am VERY concerned about the cached and uncached marks because my friend's 1 gig of same 533mhz ram on his P-D 3.2ghz is waay better.. He gets the read cached and uncached ratings almost double mine.. about 2000 or so. Could that be caused because my friend has a 2x1mb L2 cache, and my pc only has 2x512kb L2 cache? Or because of a 300W PSU ???
In any case.. PLEASE answer my questions as detailed as you can.. because i bought this PC hoping that it would be simple great.. but turns out not to meet my expectations .. if i'm worried for the wrong reason.. please tell me, and if my computer isn't so bad please tell me too, as it will make me feel better![Smile](https://forums.passmark.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
Are there any suggestions for anything to be upgraded? changed? overclocked?
Btw, people tell me that i should upgrade my PSU .. i do not understand why though.. everything works .. is it a big problem...
Thank you very much.. and please give me as much advice as you're able to ...
