I read the post for Radeon LE owner's benchmarking with 3DMark 2001.
I am running W2K, NO overclocking. Latest Driver's for the Radeon. And i have flashed my bios to the regular DDR Radeon.
my score is 2005. I have seen other's on W2K with the W2K and much better scores without Overclocking. And Yes i do have the Via 4 in 1 driver's.

I advise that you get the Raid On tweaker and clear your registry settings with it. Then load up the Humus recommended settings. The workstation that I have an OCed Radeon LE on gets 2704 3DMarks in 3DMark 2001 under Win2k. Under Win98SE, it received 2888 3DMarks. You might also want to tweak your bios settings to max out performance.

Duron 750 OCed to 918
Radeon LE oced to 189/189 (194/194 is stable but seems hot)

If tweaked right, the Radeon LE is a great card but I was frustrated however in the beginning with lockups and poor performance. Now, however, I receive 28 - 95 frames (usually hovers around 45) at 1024x768 in 32bit color with most options maxed out under Tribes 2.

You need the reg hack to enable HyperZ for D3D & a lil overclocking would help as well.Of course if your running a 650-700mhz cpu your score is about right

Can someone send me a link to a registry hack tweaker? I'm not sure what humus is but i'll assume it is self explanatory when i get the tweaker.

There are links to a few tweakers on this page. I've tried both RadeonTweaker and Raid-On Tweaker and am currently using Raid-On Tweaker. Tweakers

Jobberd: Check the previous message I wrote for an idea of how the Win2k drivers perform compared to the Win98 ones. I get almost 200 3DMarks more in Win98 than in Win2k. An additional 200 marks may not matter to others though. For me, every bit of performance gain matters since it would mean more frags in Tribes 2 for me.
