I haven't ran the test yet, but people I know with similar specs to myself (A64 3200+, 1GB DDR400, X800XT-PE OC) get around 1,900.

Just to compare how taxing this version is to previous versions, my rig gets:
~25,000 in 3DMark01SE
~13,500 in 3DMark03
~6,500 in 3DMark05
~2,000 in 3DMark06

Most people complain of how crap this version looks right now since in the majority of cases, 06 can be currently viewed as the 'slideshow edition'. Baha.

Few notes:

- It's alleged this version is highly biased against ATi cards.

- Offers benchmarking support for SM3.0 and dual-core systems. If you don't have an SM3.0 supported card (cards which are not: Geforce 6s, Geforce 7s or Radeon X1ks), you won't be able to run the SM3.0 benchmarks. There are two tests for SM2.0 shaders and two for SM3.0 shaders. The final score also integrates both video card and CPU performances, so sporting a dual-core rig for this version may be reasonably advantageous.

- The dedicated CPU test apparently runs horrendous. Someone with a 3.0GHz P4 ran the test with an average 0.2 fps. Rofl.

Anyway, here are some scores for the following systems (of people I know of):

A64 X2 3800+ @ 2.87 Ghz 1.60 volts
DFI NF4 Ultra-D
2x512mb OCZ EL Platinum Rev.2
X850XT-PE @ 595/620
2,050

3GHz P4
1GB DDR400
6800GT
2205 (see how biased this one is against ATi)

A64 3000+ Venice @ 2.4Ghz
Kingston HyperX 1GB DDR440
X800GT @ 510/1060
1,350

A64 @ 1.8GHz
1GB DDR400
9800PRO
762 lol

A64 X2 4400+
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR
2GB DDR400
256MB 7800GTX @ 490/1300
4555

I'll give it a run when I can be bothered downloading 580MB on my P4 3.2GHz 6800GT rig.

Probably after mid Feb though, seeing that I would be out of the country soon and doubt I'll get access to anything better than integrated graphics.
