I really love the 3dmark searies, but i think i have been stopped this year....I am not sure if my cpu meets min requirements.
I have a 1.8ghz pentium 4 northwood 533mhz
SO i am below...but below that it says....
SO do you think it would work? I know i can safely overclock to 2ghz, but is that safe for a benchmark...i tested it with 3dmark03 and no artifacts or anything...but 05 is harder right?
One more thing....Somewhere on the site (i think its 3dmark05 FAQs) it says that the processor must have SSE, I would presume a pentium 4 has that right? Does my model have it?
Thanks guys. (i bet i will get a crazy low score..but in my opinion 3dmark series is pretty cheap for what it offers.) full specs....

Futuremark said:It is possible that 3DMark05 will run on PCs that do not meet the requirements above, but the benchmark performance may be seriously affected. For example, insufficient video memory will result in texture swapping - this will cause fluctuations during the tests, reducing the reliability of the generated scores.
