I think something is wrong because my 3DMark2001 scores suck.

Does 5.12.01.0631 sound right? Would I go about checking those in win2k by hitting the advanced button on the settings tab of display properties and then hitting the geforce2 gts tab?

I have a tbird 850 with Geforce2 MX
nothing is overclocked and i scored : 2050
so yes, there is definently something wrong with your setup.
Do you have the latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers , version 4.29??
if not get it at www.viahardware.com it helps alot
Also be sure you have DirectX8 installed as that helps out alot .

I had the same problem as you. I'm also running Windows 2000 Pro. I was using the 6.34 drivers and my score was 1967. But after I downloaded and installed the 10.80 drivers for Win2K my score jumped to 3093.
