After finally getting the program downloaded from two seperate FTP sites, I installed Aquamark 3 and ran a few tests. Here are the results using the untweaked preset option of "Very High quality Pentium/Athalon 2Ghz+, 64MB GFX Board".

MaxFPS: 132.000000
AvgFPSRender: 55.919407
AvgFPSSimulation: 176.072388
AvgTrianglesPerSecond: 12773716
MinTrianglesPerSecond: 1761943
MaxTrianglesPerSecond: 30192948
AquamarkScoreRender: 5592
AquamarkScoreSimulation: 8804
AquamarkScore: 42435
By playing around with a few of the graphics optionos I was able to get the score up over 42.52 but the difference is so slight that it doesn't seem to be worth it.
I tried various settings under the graphics portion of the program, I tried anti-alias on and off, increased the anisotropy setting at the default 4x and max 16x settings, as well as the trilinear and bi-linear settings without much difference.
It's an interesting program and the registered version, of course, has more functionality, but for the average guy out there the freeware version is plenty.
