Let's see... started off fairly difficult, had graphical corruption that couldn't be fixed... turns out it's probably my VIA chipset... NV and VIA don't get a long very well.. Anyway, older drivers resolve this problem so.... This is my system...
ASUS A7V8X-LA
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (No OC)
512 MB DDR
120 GB HDD
Realtek AC97 ALC658
eVGA NVidia GeForce 6800 LE 256MB/256bit 8 pipes, 4 vertex.
Unlocked all 16 pipes and other 2 vertex for a total of 16 pipes and 6 vertex.
4 pipes seems to be slightly faulty.. if that's possible and glitches ever so slightly on the mother nature and pixel shader 2 test in 3dmark 03. Also once in a while graphical glitch in a game so I disabled until further notice... Overclocked to 400/825... I think I need a better PSU if I want to get any higher... Cooling seems just fine tho. GPU core is 59C while ambient is 39C.
Current 3dMark 03: 9696

Will post further changes...
UPDATE 1
Tested 3dmark05... apparently, my overclock wasn't too good and a few artifacts appeared that didn't appear in 03 so I tuned it down to 375/800 for time being.. score is 3713.. will tweak this for better effect...
