little 3dmark question

when i go to futuremark.com
i see links for 3DMark®2001 SE and 3DMark®03. there's also the possibility to register to the pro version.
which one do you use to post your scores ot the se forums? I have a 3dmark 2000 or 2001 around that came bundled with other software.
since i just ordered a new pc id like to see what it does when i build it next week.

Mostly people use 2001, because 2003 is too new, but either will do.

thanks for the help.
i heard from someone that registering
enables more options so this will give you a higher score. Does anyone know about this?
does the registered version give better scores than the unregistered version?

No not at all..thats kinda dumb who thought of that.

It just addes more tests into the equation so it may be more accurate but not a higher score
