    Thanks. Is 3D marks 06 also good for graphics benchmarking? Can HW monitor display all the temps of system parts?

    use 3dmark06 for overall performance testing. 3dmarkVantage, well, it's a 700mb download and you can use it exactly once. how stupid. plus, more people use 06 to benchmark than Vantage.

    for temps, use HWmonitor or rivatuner. both will, if properly set up, show all your available thermometers.
