Default Why is HWBot so addictive?
I'm not sure why I'm making this thread but I'd like some opinions on this.

Everytime I'm at a computer I always check the hardware and see if I can score me some points on HWBot. Internet cafe, cousin's computer, brother's laptop, the list goes on.

Instead of talking with my friends on MSN I run 3dmark06 instead and stare at soundless scenes hoping to get a decent score and grab some HWBot points.

Anyone else feel the same?

Nope

I find it hard to just send in scores, never mind sending them from other people's computers!

I did when i first started a few weeks ago, i mean i must of ran 100+ 3DMark06.. Only run it once every few days now, think i've hit my max without benchmarking with unstable settings.

Which are 13,329 on 1024 x 768 and 12,805 on 1280 x 1024.

Just saving up my money until i can afford either 940/955/965 and CF 4870's. Hoping to hit over 20k with this.

Your CPU is bottlenecking your score dude. I get 13600 with a 9600GT.
