well i doubted that everybody would try futuremark, and boy was i wrong.

Below is rough recall what happened yesterday night to me.

Here(Bombay India) it was just close to 24.00 and i was on net. As usual i went back to W2S, the Futuremark Clock (viewable only to W2S Admins.) was very fastly reaching to Zero.... i straight away opened a add story page .. posted a line and went back to the clock ..it just stroke O ... and the first mirror list was exposed.I updated my Mirror List and posted the story . The rest is history .

When i was posting the story i just glanced over people online counter .. there were around 1000 of them (and nearly 40 of registered) surfing W2S.. It felt as if 100's of shark had gathered around for food fest...... OK Back to the story.

After 15 mins of posting my story DO(Digital Oracle) PMed me W2S is down. "I said no way.. where did u get the news from?".. reply came "Try getting to the site".. yes W2S was down.... man the sharks had killed the prey... or rather the DB was ripped apart by W2S users.

Fortunately i had queued Futuremark in DAP and i went to sleep. In morning after freshening up i got back to my PC . Double-clicked FMSetup , Warning :- "No DX9 not found .. setup will continue but prog wont run" some thing like that showed up. i said OK and continue.... As i had installed FM i hd to try it .. But since there was no DX9 ... i had hunt to my 80 GB barracuda for DX9 Redist.. there it was in jan folder.

DX9 installed , Ati CAT 3.1 and latest Control panel installed .. PC restarted n number of time ..... then i clicked FM....

Message "Only one (out of four) Benchmark will Run"..... Man .. i need to save seperately now for 9700 ..so FM will run and then i can rest in peace..


BTW Degger i suggest only registered sharks ... users ... be able to view breaking news... and those who r curious my FM score was 154.... dont u laugh.... HEy u laughed ...... wait when i get R 350.
