If your getting it off ebay its probably one of the ones that doesn't mod, so be careful. I would go with the ones from Newegg.

Not to piss on your score or your PC, but 3DMark2003 is somewhat defective as an indicator of overall game performance. As AcesHardware recently discovered, 3DMark2003 is so video card dependent it tests the video card practically in isolation from the rest of the system. 3DMark2003 is, therefore, about as synthetic of a test as it gets, as you will see PII 350MHz systems with performance not very much off from 2.8GHz P4 systems, provided they have the same video card. Common sense dictates, though, those results do not translate over very well into the realm of real games. |

yes I am aware that 3DMark03 is almost totally GPU dependant, other than the first test that has the aircrafts in it..... I was just letting him know what type of performance he could expect from a moddable 9500 Non Pro
