Dim8200/6800 benchmarks (78.01)

I recently upgraded the drivers on my Dim8200 and figured I'd run the benchmarks to see how they stacked and report to others who were curious about upgrading their system. The setup is exactly as stated below: 2.8GHz/400MHz fsb, 768MB PC800-40ns RDRAM, PNY 6800 (unlocked to 16 pipes & 6 shaders, but not overclocked) using NVIDIA's latest 78.01 drivers (I had the 77.60 before- I think).

AquaMark – 45,851 GPU 50C  Amb 36C

3DMark03 – 9,381   GPU 50C  Amb 35C

3DMark05 – 3,522   GPU 50C  Amb 36C

The temps (recorded from the NVIDIA software) remained stable throughout the tests, and the only stutter occurred during the 3DMark03 cpu test 'Troll' and on all of the 3DMark05 cpu tests (thanks to that 400MHz fsb). It would be cool if somebody with a similar system and the 3.06GHz/533MHz (ahem - herb366) ran the benchmarks to see the difference in performance between the 850 and the 850E boards.

I ran the benchmarks on my ASUS board (Intel 875, similar to a Dim8300) and here's the results (with the 77.77's 1st and the 78.01's second):

AquaMark - 64,607 - 64,658 (1% improvement)

3DMark03 - 12,820 - 12,863 (1% improvement)

3DMark05 - 5,552 - 5633 (1.5% improvement)

I still have a few results from the 77.30 drivers that beat these by a fraction, but I also have a mess of background programs running. Later this week I'm planning on doing a complete reformat & reinstall of WinXP. Maybe I'll edge a few more points out then.
