Help me raise my 3dmark score

[Armageddon415]

My score seems kinda low especially my pixel shaders and fill rate. My system is:
XP1600+ @ 1750 (10.5x166)
Epox 8k3a+ (2312 bios)
GF3 TI200 230/440 (23.12 drivers, these are the only ones I can get to work)
512MB Kingmax pc2700

Help me reach 9000.

make sure you have the latest drivers for:

motherboard (northbridge, southbridge, agp drivers and whatnot)
hard drive

doing a fresh install of windows helps...
defragging your hard drive helps...
making sure there are as few programs running in the task manage as possible also helps.

I definitely agree with closing as many programs as possible. Close explorer and try executing it out of task manager, then close task manager too. I think that helped bumped mine up a couple points. 9000 would be great with a Ti200. I have to OC my XP1800+ up to 1.62 just to break 10,000, and I have a Ti4400.

The 23.11 drivers are the only ones that are stable for me, it has something to do with my mobo. Also if you look at the my scores, the pixel shader and fill rate is really low. Is there a way to fix that?

yeah do the driver thing.........my friends rig that I built is doing a lil over 10,000........config: msi i845g, pentium 4 1.8A@ 2.3GHZ,512mb pc2700, 80gb wd SE, Radeon 8500LE 128mb @ 290/290.

Problem is that I can't change the drivers, any other driver i use locks up my whole computer.

 

[wfbberzerker]

perhaps you should do a reformat.... helps clear all the clutter out, and it may solve some of the driver problems youre having.

your GF3 ram can go higher, I think.

This was on a fresh install. And my ram can't go any higher, if I could higher it just locks up. I've been able to update my drivers, but it didn't help one bit.
