v poor 3dmark results and bizare voltage readings on epox 8k3

[Kilcaff]

Hi,
I've just upgraded to a new machine:

athlon xp 2200 t/bred
epox 8k3a raid m/b
geforce 2 mx200 (from last rig)
512mb crucial ddr333

-there's further details available below.

At first I had issues with anything graphical, 3d mark and nvidia demos locked my system. I since upgraded the m/b bios and everything seems to work, ie not crash.

However, I get a 3d mark 2000 score of 3569 and a 3d mark 2001 se score of 1585
PC mark2002 chucks out the scores of: cpu 5354 mem 3120 hdd 482
- it also thinks my athlon xp is a duron?!

I was just wondering if this may be a fault on the cpu or the m/b? Or has the geforce had it, it seemed to be fine in the last rig (also linked to below)?
I've set the agp to 4x and tried both fastwrite enabled and disabled without much effect.
I'm running the 30.82 detonator drivers.

Also, motherboard monitor displays core 1 voltage as 0.14v, -12 as 1.96v and -5 as 0.33v (all in red). As the pc health in bios doesn't show these, should I be worried? I'm new to all this voltage malarkey.

Thanks for any help,
Kilcaff.

are you using motherboard monitor the software monitor... then there might be a compatability problem or the voltage sensors aren't set up right... might I suggest using Speedfan... it autodetects your sensors and configures them accordingly... here's the link from the AnandTech Forum... AnandTech Forums List of Hardware Monitoring Apps... Try it out to test your readings... you don't have to keep it... just a precaution to make sure your readings are fine...
