Low 3DMarkSE Scores

[jtzou]

Ok, here's the thing... my set up looks something like

P4 2.2 A @ 2.5 w/ FSB @115 doing burn in
Asus P4B533-V MB
1 GB Corsair XMS PC2700
Chaintech GF4 Ti4600 w/ 29.42 detonators
120 GB WD SE HDD

So what do I get with that? About 6k for 3DMarks... am I doing something horribly wrong? I thought my setup should get me at least 10k...

Make sure that settings such as antialiasing are turned off and run the default tests, that is the ones at 1280x1024.

If you haven't already, go to intel's website and get all the latest drivers for your chipset. My wife's computer was getting about 4k with a GeForce 4 Ti$200 until I updated her agp driver, even though she has a brand new Dell. Afterwards she's hitting about 600+ higher than the average score. Bear in mind you may need to reinstall Direct X 8.1 after you install the board drivers, followed by reinstalling your card's drivers....but you may not.

1024X768 is default

Quick question(s)... I think my memory was running at 200 MHz when that test was run... how much does that affect my score? The other thing I'm curious about, is I've heard the most recent Intel INF stuff will lower your score...? Is that true?
