Hi everyone and I'm sorry if I've placed this in the wrong section, I really have no idea where to post this thread. Anyways, I'm sort of in need of a high school science fair project topic that's legitimate and able to be qualified for regional competition or higher. I really would like to do something on computers or benchmarking such as 3DMark or Prime95 but I have no idea how to design a good experimental procedure and I'm really limited in hardware.
My current system build (a year and a half old) is
Intel Pentium D 930 @ 3.00 Ghz (I can't overclock, bought from Dell)
2 GB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM
nVidia 6800 256 MB PCI-E x16
Intel 945G Motherboard
2 X 160 GB HDs in RAID 0
That's basically my rig so I can't test any fancy stuff and my parents don't plan on buying me much of anything except maybe some software that I'll need. Could anyone here help me create a topic because I'm really stuck.
