Okay guys, the artifacts problems have been sorted and the system is running 100% stable, so here's the scores for my system not overclocked (specs below):

3D Mark 2000 - 5885 (old bench, stay tuned)
3D Mark 2001 - 2716
Quake 3: Full Quality
(640x480) - 141.6 fps
(800x600) - 120.8 fps
(1024x768) - 84.0 fps

What do you guys think?

Bye the way, if you guys have time could you post similar results for your rigs that have a 1.4GHz AMD CPU and a K7T266 mobos. So I can get a good view of how a different graphics card would effect my rig...cheers
