Seeing that I'm kinda short on hardware now since I have a lot of things on loan, I'll be deviating from my normal tests where I throw a whole slew of hardware at it. This is great for finding any potential compatibility issues of the review material.

With the situation the way it is, I'll be concentrating on what I currently have.

Here's a rundown of my test rig:

Motherboard:
Abit BF6 Intel 440BX Motherboard (Bios Revision: RV 05/08/2000)

Processor:
Intel Pentium III-700 at 700 & 933

Video Card:
3DFX Voodoo3 3000 AGP (Driver: 1.04)

Sound Card:
Creative SoundBlaster Live! Value Digital

Memory:
TTI 128Mb., 8ns, PC100 SDRAM 3-3-3 (running at 2-2-2)

Hard Drive:
Maxtor 8.4Gb. UDMA33, 5400RPM

Other Drives:
Creative Infra 48x CD-Rom Drive
Panasonic 1.44Mb. Floppy Drive

Operating System:
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

Benchmarks:
SiSoft Sandra 2000 Standard
3DMark2000
Quake 3 Arena Timedemo

This is a bit too conservative for my taste but what can I do?

Let's get to the tests...
