AquaMark3	Source: Massive Development

AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of a computer system. Because the benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and 2004.

The AthlonXP 3200+ and P4 3.2C perform very close to each other in AquaMark3's processor test. Please keep in mind that AquaMark3 is very videocard dependant and using a difference card or higher clocked card will greatly affect the score!

Quake III usually likes the bandwidth available from a Pentium 4 but it seems like the program has a new favorite. Still the P4 does very well for itself considering it's "old tech". = )
