<CD><Intro>Overclocking -- like any art, practice makes perfect.
Along with a keen eye and steady hand, experience really makes the difference. Be it with a range of CPUs, chipsets or memory, or knowing how far you can push something or what you need to do to make sure it stays running, are things anyone planning to overclock needs to be familiar with. While those in the know may be confident of their abilities, there are tools they rely on to make their work perfect.
And what are these tools? Easy. They're the programs included on this month's cover CD!
Welcome to the Atomic Overclock Shop CD!
As a companion toolkit to this issue's massive overclocking guide, we've compiled a bunch of applications to diagnose, benchmark and monitor your system, as well as help you wind up the revs on your CPU, front side bus and memory. We're in the business of making your life easier, and fun, and nothing accomplishes these tasks better than letting you fiddle with your box, armed with an array of speed-boosting utilities. Cue smiles.
3DMark03, 3DMark2001, CPUBench, SiSoft SANDRA -- just to name a few of the programs we've included. As an added bonus, we have Boot sector waiting in the ranks with the freshest hardware and software updates, including drivers for ATI, NVIDIA and Xabre video chips, and the full installation of DirectX 9.0. Cue bigger smiles.
With this all waiting to be uncovered on this month's disc, you'd think they'd be plenty to play with. Well boys and girls, now we're bringing out the big guns.
We have S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stuff. And loads of it. Cue insane laughter.
We managed to secure a few exclusive screenshots and sketches from GSC Gameworld, along with a bunch of tantalising images, of S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadows of Chernobyl. Along with this exclusive stuff, we also squeezed on an awesome trailer that contains some impressive in-game action. Talk about spoilt!
Well, that's enough from us. Enjoy!</Intro><Menu><Name>Benchmarks</Name><Logo>images\logo_bench.jpg</Logo><Links><Item><Appname>3DMark03</Appname><CDpath>..\Files\Benchmarks\3DMark03\</CDpath><Filename>3DMark03.exe</Filename><OS>All Windows versions</OS><Filesize>186.3MB</Filesize><Website>www.futuremark.com</Website><Email>N/A</Email><Version>330</Version><License>Free</License><Desc>3DMark03 is the latest version of the highly favoured 3DMark series.
