Hi all-
I'm a little confused about the 3DMark results I get with my current setup. According to Firingsquad tests with the CelII600, I should be getting something around a 4000 rating on 3DMark 800x600x16. The best I've come up with thus far is a little over 1600. Current setup is: Cel633@790, Abit VL6 mobo, 128meg PC133 RAM, Voodoo3 2000. Is my video card the bottleneck, or is there something in my setup I've goofed? Thanks!

You should be getting way better then that. At 1024x760x16 when I had my v3 3000 and a celeron 566@850 I was getting 3200 about.

To get the most accurate results you need to install one of the Voodoo3 overclocking utilities and set VSYNC to "off" (or do not synchronize video refresh with vertical refresh). With VSYNC "on" you will limit your video update to only be updated during vertical blanking times instead of continuous. this will make a dramatic difference in your scores.
