3dmark2003 on older machines

Has anyone run 3dmark 2k3 on a non-direct-x 9 machine? I've got a 64MB Radeon 8500 card. Should I even bother?

Don't bother. It's extremely depressing to a nVIDIA-based graphics solution. Then again, you have ATI, so why not? Damn nVIDIA for not paying Futuremark so they could optimize their drivers!
