"I thought that this benchmark was supposed to pretty much test your memory and not the video card."
Smbu, thats true, but it still has to make OpenGL calls to put the particles on the screen, which means going through the driver and AGP bus.
Mixxen, thats a great score, and it makes sense that its higher after a restart. Btw there are like 4 other Celeron-II users that have reported really great scores, especially considering their FSB speeds! I wonder what it is about the CeleronII, maybe its the cache structure?? Your celery does *not* suck ass =)
Thanks for the Radeon drivers tip BatmanNate, and thanks everyone again for helping me out here.
