Well, I fixed my VP6 problem. Used the drivers off Windows Update, and the system is happy. No problems now. I also picked up the Inspire 4400 4.1 speaker set. Great speakers when paired with the Audigy.

1st Computer got a 3DMark2001 score of 7002
2nd Computer got a 3DMark2001 score of 3475

my machine (see below) does a 3D Mark 2001 score of 3150
 
(Detonator v27.30, Vsync off, Direct3D Mipmap Detail Level: Best Performance, GF2 MX clocked to 235/380, CPU clocked to 1.45GHz)
 
PS, Marktait, how did you get your GF2 MX200 to give you that impressive (considering) score of 3475. What setting and drivers do you have?
 
Regards,
tsonta101

I'm using det 27.10 and to be honest im not sure how its getting a score like that, Iv also got this confusing thing that the 1.2Ghz with the GF2 MX200 boots a lot faster than my XP 1700+, and i mean ALOT FASTER.
 
So i aint sure how it gets that score, i was surprised too and also none of that system is overclocked too.

well at 1024X768 in 3dmark 2001 i get 2345
1024x768 3dmark 2000 i get 5632
3dmark 2000 640x480 9008

This was at 640X480, I havent tweaked windows at all apart from changing my virtual memory so that its 512MB(smallest size) - 768MB(largest size) that seems to have been very effective speedwise.

arent u using a 32MB card tho? That cud be why theres that difference in scores

i didn't notice that...yes a 64MB card should yield more points in benchmarks....i was about to start wondering... ...hehe...
 
PS my score of 3150 is with 3D Mark2001's default settings

3dmark2000 - default - 7675
3dmark2001se - default - 5651

New toy, and I thought I would actually try a *non* Intel chipset. I had some major issues with this motherboard and another one, but it turned out that they needed a bit longer to clear their CMOS than I am used to. So, here we go...
 

WinXP Pro
Intel P4 1.6A@1.72GHz Northwood with stock heatsink and VCore (just got it)
Intel HSF
SOYO Dragon P4S Ultra rev 2A (SiS 645 Chipset)
256MB DDR-266 Crucial RAM
WD 100GB ATA-100 HD w/ 8MB Cache
Samsung 5x DVD/32x CD Drive
Hercules Geforce 2 Pro, 64MB (Detonator 23.11)
Onboard C-Media 6-Channel Sound
Onboard SiS USB 2.0 with 5.25" Drivebay I/O
Onboard Highpoint UDMA/IDE RAID Controller (33/66/100/133)
Radius 19" Monitor (Trinitron AG CRT)
MS Natural Keyboard Pro
MS Intellimouse Explorer
SanDisk USB Compact Flash Reader
Spacetec SpaceORB 6DOF Game Controller
[/list:u]

EddiE314 have u added any fans or anything to ur GeForce 3 coz i was looking to up the clock settings but was worried if the fan on the GeForce 3 couldn't handle it? Thanx

Ok, done some benchies now.
 
3dmark 2001 SE - 9246
 
P4 1.9@2.27 gf3 ti500

I've done some benching, and 3dMark 2001SE gives me 7530 @ 1024x768x32.
Specs: AOpen AK77 Pro, T-Bird 1.4GHz @ 1.58GHz (151x10.5), Gainward GF3 @ 250/571 stock cooling, 512MB PC2100

Update: Now it's running at 2.11GHz with default VCore and PCI/AGP/Memory speeds. Here's the new list...
 

WinXP Pro
Intel P4 1.6A@2.11GHz Northwood with stock heatsink and VCore (just got it)
Intel HSF
SOYO Dragon P4S Ultra rev 2A (SiS 645 Chipset)
256MB DDR-266 Crucial RAM
WD 100GB ATA-100 HD w/ 8MB Cache
Samsung 5x DVD/32x CD Drive

holy crap that is a good overclock

Yeah, the 1.6A Northwoods are supposed to be the new Celeron 300, or something like that.

Well, I am gonna go for 2.4GHz in a bit, but I am going to fiddle with SiSoft Sandra and see if I can get some benchmarks for the earlier request. Normally, I don't care for bench-marketing programs but I too noticed a great void in o/c testing for the SiS 645 chipset with Northwood processors.
