Just got my Duron sys up! I am a Got my Duron sys up this weekend! Yeah! But? I was a very disappointed when I ran 3D Mark 2000.
My previous sys was a Celeron 400@488 on a Abit BX6r2. I ran 3DMark before the teardown and got 2177 3D Marks and 134 CPU Marks in Win2000 Pro.
After the upgrade to a Duron 600@1000 on a Abit KT7, I ran 3D Mark again. The first run was in Win98se, with a score of 3731 3D Marks and 364 CPU Marks, about what you would expect to see. The big disappointment was when I ran 3D Mark in Win2k Pro. I got 2190 3D Marks and 129 CPU Marks!! I know that D3D performance in Win2k isn?t good, but no performance gain? Can anyone explain this lack of performance gain or offer any tips? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
I am VERY happy with Win2k stability. I NEVER had a sys crash or lockup in 8 months of use! But if gaming performance can be that much greater in Win98 I am considering dual booting and using Win98 for games only? Any input? Thanks all!!!
