Ok so workstation is all built...did the tape mod... installed XP64...drivers etc.... The MSI 8800GT I bought does NOT have xp64 drivers so I got the newest Nvidia ones... Its only scoring a 3267 for OGL in cinebench which is half of what it should be... I ran some direct-x benchmarks and those are where they should be... After effects Cs3 GUI also seemed to be a little slow compared to my old rig... So me thinks its a graphic driver issue... Seems Xp64 drivers are kinda rare... Next I'm gonna install Vista 64 because the MSI card DOES have Vista 64 drivers.... I've ruled it out being a power issue as I have a 650w PSU with 56A on the 12v rails... and I only have one Hard drive and 1 optical drive... Could still be a mainboard issue I don't know? Really seems like a gfx driver thing... Why would the direct-x scores be normal with the Open GL half of what they should be? Most 3d apps use DirectX but mine, Cinema 4d uses OpenGL so I kinda need it : (
