Hi,

First thanks to those who helped me before.

Finally I got my Radeon running well on Win2k Pro. Everything seems OK and AGP 4X is also enabled. But... when I run a timedemo in Q3Demo, I got shocked by the low performance--
640x480 normal 60fps
1024x768 high quality 43fps
1600x1200 high quality 25fps
And more strange is that even I overclocked my duron from 650 to 850, the result only raise 2-3 fps!!
Why???? Please help! I describe my system installation as following, please point out which is wrong. Thanks in advance!

Duron 650 (not oc)/Radeon DDR 64M OEM/MSI K7T Pro2A 1.8 Bios/SB Live!/IBM 75GXP 30G
1. install win2k
2. install win2k sp1
3. install ie5.5
4. install via IDE UDMA Controller
5. install Radeon Driver 3035
6. install via 4in1 and AGP 4.04
7. install DX8

And when I use 3D winbench 2000 to test quality, I just found that it said this card is not support Bump Mapping and Fog table and Texture Compress and more... I don't know why? The first racing scene only scores 12fps with T&L!!

Any ideas??

I'd install the Via 4-1 right after the OS install, don't know if that is your problem. Are you using the beta driver for the Radeon? Official driver under W2K blows.
