Aquamark3 and Sound...disable it?

[jcw122]

I was wondering, will I see a points gain from disabling sound during Aquamark3 benchmarking? I'm not gonna be listening to it, and I bet most don't but I was wondering if it's an advantage, esspecially for onboard sound. TIA!

I doubt it would account for much, if any. Worth a test though. I nominate you!

I disable all onboard hardware in the BIOS, USB/Parallel/Serial, LAN, 1394, sound, etc, and it actually helps pretty noticeably in 3dmark2001 and Aqua.

I always had the sound not right or whatever restoring defualts when I disabled sound in the bios for AM3. Otherwise I disable everything for 3dmark and almost everything for AM3.

Hmm haven't though of those other ones before, thx Gautam!

LOL and I'll try it out Sucka, if I can remember to do so once I get back to my house where my rig is at.
