ti4200 and my bottleneck?

I just installed my Albatron ti4280p and I ran 3Dmark01SE and got a score of 8500. That seems extremely low for my card. I didn't expect the score to be 12000 like I"ve seen on review sites but I didn't expect it to be this low. I know my computer is outdated in many ways but I thought it would at least be sufficient to run a ti4200.

My computer is:


P4 1.5 ghz (423 socket)
328mb rdram (PC600?)
Intel 850 mobo (from dell dimension 8100)
Omega 44.03 drivers


What's killing me? Or is it that card? I'm so frustrated with my scores!


thanks,

cmai

Those two are the ones that slow you down. A good ol' prestigious Pentium3 Copper 933 should squash that P4 1.5. I used to run a P3 1000E@ 1450mhz on an i440bx board at 145mhz FSB and the performance was superb.. I loved those times.. the great i440bx days..
Move on to the lastest generation of P4 with high performance boards they offer, or AMD tbred/barton processor with nforce2 based board.

Somehow i dont believe that.........

Belief needs to be based on benchies ultimately.

Anyway, I had heard alot of comments when the lower speed P4's first came out, that the PIII's were actually better performers at similar/same clock speeds. This was widely commented on at the time and the response was that the P4's would ultimately prevale based on scalability to much higher speeds... so obiously they make up for the less efficient architecture with raw speed.

So the above comments about teh PIII being faster at similar clock speeds sounded believable to me.

you don't need to clock it up to near/similar to the clockspeed of P4 1.5ghz. You can clock it far less and still beat it. over the years, i've been seeing too many P4 Willy 1.5/1.6/1.8ghz systems owners get worst result in office apps and games.
