    I was doing benchmarks on my desktop system yesterday and had 9 bluescreens within an hour. The OS is very very unstable, if you like to tweak your machine at all stick with XP. It reminds me of that Microsoft virus, what was that again? Oh Windows ME lol.

    Anywho on my desktop with 2x7950GX2's (quad sli) I could only pull 5.5k in 3dmark06 with vista. XP I get a little over 9k ;)

    Quad 7950 get only 9 k? that sucks, SLI 7900 should get you 9 k,quad should be well above 10k.

    I don't trust 3dmark as an accurate benchmarking tool, it's really best to test between games, IMHO. :)

    9 or 10k is about right for the cards.
    I hope better drivers come out for quad SLI.
