ABIT BX133
P3 700 @ 933 (7x 133, 1.85v vcore)
128MB PC133 CAS3 Micron
GeForce 2 GTS (ASUS V7700 Pure)
SB Live! value
10/100 3Com NIC
400W good quality power suply
a lot of coolers!

My config is here: http://www.guiadopc.com.br/bengt.cfg

I get only 153 fps on timedemo 1, but a friend of mine w/ mine config get 145 fps on a Duron 700@800 and GeForce 2 MX!!!!

I can't keep the 125fps sometimes... someone help me!?!?

I am using the 6.31 Detonator, and Windows 2K SP1

Thanks for any reply.

yeah you shouldn't be worried about your fps at like 640X480 because nobody plays at that resolution. What are your high res benchmarks. Try benching quake 3 at 1024X768 at 32 bit color with everything maxed out and then give us your results. That is all you should care about. Also know that the bottleneck is the geforce and not your processor. The geforce tops out at around 750 mhz and all cpus above it score pretty much the same.
