The toys have arrived!

Tweak rig:
Intel Core E2160
Asrock 4Core-VSTA PT880 powered mobo with 1x PCIe 4x
2* PC5300 1GB kingston CL5 ram
old Enermax 360W

Going for lowest on aircooling.

First test is a bit discouraging:
3Dmark01 nature: 56.2 fps : /
3Dmark01 nature with LOD 'tweak': 86.5 fps : |

I'll need to double that.

disable 4xAA, that will help, a lot. Rules have changed; 4XAA can be seen enabled in app, but disabled through driver, thus creating havoc in ranking. So end result is, we disable AA in the rules.

You should get 130~140FPS at stock GPU clocks in 3D01. 1280x1024

Huh? Everyone with +100fps stock had AA disabled?

Make sure 'Pci-e downstream pipeline' is disabled, because this setting fixes random freezing of 3D applications with some Pci-e graphics cards

I've made a custom heatsink for my 7300GT out of an old P4 heatsink, but I have no time left to overclock the little puppy. : /

I'll post my results after the deadline...
