    DDR2? I doubt it. (with that score at least)

    What are your individual scores (CPU, GPU)?

    I think that's what everyone is looking for...

    There you go...I knew someone would figure that out. Out of kindness I am closing this thread so the original poster doesn't get completely flamed. Nice try. :rolleyes:
