I just build this system now.
XP 1800+
ECS K7S5A
256 mb pc 133 ram
visiontek gts2-v card o/c to 190/300
..

Why my 3d mark 2002 score is so low (28xx) compare to other similar systems?

I suspect that it got something to do with the FSB,
in the 3dmark result browser, it says my FSB is only 66 Mhz,
But I checked with WCPUID, which says system clock is at 132.77Mhz.

Chances are you are looking at the AGP bus speed in 3dmark, and your system bus speed in WCPUID. As for the ridiculously low score - I don't know. Are your BIOS settings correct?

As for the scores being low, I have no idea why they show up so low. The bus speed is due to a known flaw with 3Dmark2001 and the ECS K7S5A. Anyone who has that board (including myself) will see their bus speed as 66mhz with 3dmark even though it is actually 133 or whatever you have it overclocked to.

Have you installed SIS AGP drivers from CD that came with mobo ? If not, this is probably reason.
