Comparing/Improving benchmarks with "hacked" Radeon LE

[Rhorschach]

Ok, I've seen benchmarks for the Radeon LE (after registry hacks, of course) scattered all about in the various forums. Problem is that everyone seems to be using different standards when benchmarking and then not mentioning that fact -- some are using default benchmark settings, while others are changing settings or perhaps not mentioning their their video card's overclocked speed. As a result, I am seeing far too much variation to trust any one score entirely.
Seeing as how this popular this card has become recently, I was hoping we could compile a comprehensive list with a *single*, *standardized* benchmark with this card in an effort to:
1.) gauge what the average score should be for this card, and
2.) help one another tweak their cards to maximize performance.

So, using 3DMark 2000 - *note: this setup is not the default benchmark when you start!!
*************
Resolution: 1024x768 x 32-bit color
Texture: 32-bit
Z-Buffer Depth: 32-bit
Frame Buffer: Triple
CPU Optimization: D3D Hardware T&L
*************
Radeon Clock Speed: 175.82Mhz
Radeon Drivers: 4.13.7072
OS: Win98
Processor: Duron 750 @ 750
RAM: Crucial 128MB PC133 CAS 2
*************
MY SCORE: 4179

Now, I'm fairly certain that this is a somewhat low score and can be improved upon; I'm just wondering by how much other people have topped this, and specifically how they did this (i.e. Used a particular tweaker, or maybe did a clean install of OS). Any help and/or participation would be greatly appreaciated.

I used the same settings as you and I had the following system:

Duron 900@1050, 7072 drivers (for Radeon DDR LE) 183/183, 128MB PC133 CAS2, Abit KT7, etc etc. Win98.
I got a score of about 4500 with the 7072's and 5100-5200 with 16 bit color. The 3036's or something.... gave me about 150 points higher, but was not as good as these beta drivers.

Rhorschach, arod324 -

Are your scores with or without HyperZ and FastZ?

zombie13,

Well, I'm using the newest Raid-on tweaker (4.0), so that is with all of the registry hacks turned on. Well to be more precise, it is whatever Raid-on turns on when using the "recommended for most games" profile, which means HyperZ and FastZ are enabled. Although I disable FastZ when playing games (I turn it back on when benchmarking) because it causes artifacts in many games, mainly Counter-Strike though.
