Awesome. 3000 3DMarks higher just with a new CPU/mobo. Gfxcard is still the same.
Those A64 CPUs are speedy beasts even in spite of their low clockspeeds
EDIT:
Forgot to give system specs: Asus K8VDeluxe
AMD Athlon64 3200+ @2280MHz
160GB Samsung SP1614C SATA HD (8MB Cache)
The rest is old parts:
Radeon 9700Pro @360/330
512 MB PC2700 RAM @228MHz FSB CAS2-6-2-2
Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96
Terratec Cinergy400 TV card
Initio UWSCSI hostadapter
WD 800JB 80GB
NEC ND1300A +/- DVD R/RW
Toshiba SD-M1201 SCSI DVD-ROM

Well, the UT2003 botmatch simply is amazing (in Steve Jobs voice).
Seriously, I was surprised/astonished to see the perfromance-gain through the A64 despite of my otherwise somewhat aged hardware (still using PC2700 Ram, still using my 12 months old Radeon 9700Pro).
If you look at the 3DMark details you can see that this beast easily beats P4 CPUs that are clocked at over 3.8GHz in the CPU-dependant benches (CarChase high detail plus both of the Lobby tests) - and this at 1.5GHz less clockspeed

I also bought my 9700 Pro more than 12 months ago, and it's easily the best computer hardware I have ever bought. It doesn't have a single weakness. A good investment, as I won't buy a new graphics board in the foreseeable future.
