» Discuss! Nicklas "worm" Renqvist @ Tue 2001-03-13

We've finally sorted out the last minute details with the download sites and mirrors and wanted to give everyone heads up that we're going live with 3Dmark2001 between 4 - 6 pm PST. Sorry to still leave the time a bit open, but as we're not hosting the file alone and need to syncronize the roll-out with mirroring sites.

Also, our servers are maxing out big time. (Like most of you surely have noticed So, please, please try to avoid refershing the pages multiple times each minute as we're taking kind of a heavy beating on this one (and if you really, really have to keep refreshing use the 3DMark2001 Confidential page where we'll post the info first).</font>

it took ages for that page to load this time ...

I've been benching Q3A like mad trying to quantify the impact of my recent CPU upgrade. I need to go back to my old CPU to run some more tests. I already had run a couple 3DMark2000 (freebie version) benches but I'll wait and run the 2001 version first before I swap CPUs again. Otherwise, I couldn't get too exited about its arrival but now I'm waiting in queue with everyone else. Will just have to stroke 'till midnight.

[SteveC]

It's here!! (Can't get to madonion's site - it's totally overloaded)

I have it and have already run it. Pretty hard on the G400s. Be sure to watch the demo.

38MB! WTF! Oh well.

c|net is currently feeding me at 29 KB/sec. At this rate it would be faster to have them send me a CD.
