Duron Benchmarks - Q3 1024x768 is slow! :(

Ok I've installed my Duron 650 (With Asus A7V) and i did a few benchmarks in Windows Millenium:
I'm using a GeForce DDR btw
3dMark2000 (Default benchmark):4658
Q3 Demo001 1024x768 32bit, Maximum Texture quality: 47fps!?!

I used to get around 55fps in WinME with my P3-500!
The 3dMark score is good, about 1000 higher than what i got with my P3-500, but the Q3 score is crap for the Duron.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how i can boost the score?
I'm using Nvidia 5.32 drivers atm.

The thing is, it doesn't seem to be to do with the Via 4in1 because the 3dMark2000 score is perfectly good, mabye its just something in OpenGL thats causing the problem?

Problem solved!
Guess what it was?
Yup, WinME

It installed its own Via 4in1 type drivers and wouldn't let me install the new ones.

So i put Win98SE on, bunged on Via 4in1 4.23, then 5.32 nvidia drivers and hot dog!

New benchmarks:

Q3 Normal: 109.9fps
Q3 1024x768 32bit Max Textures:61.3
