I just got a insprion 8000 with p3 1ghz, 15" UXGA and Geforce2 go 32 meg

I had first installed winxp sp2 on it and installed dells driver and then the nvidia 60.72 i think. I was able to get 2400 in 3dmark2001se. I formated and installed win2k pro but didnt like it so i went back to winxp pro sp2 but now no matter what video driver i install i get like 600 3dmarks. can someone help me. If you are using the geforce2 go what driver are u using etc. Thx

i also keep getting an error that 3dmarks window has lost its focus. can anyone help me please

I ran all the dell diagnostics, they all say all is fine. memtest says my ram is fine. im stumped

i have formated and installed 2k or xp about 6 times now. same problem. What the hell
 
its gotta be cpu. i just ran sandra and a p3 1ghz is supposed to get 3446 mips and 1338 mflops and mine just got 759 mpis and 294 mflops, mem bandwith is 75mbs, should be 689mb/s

I know when i first got the laptop a week aogo I ran these same tests and they were fine
