Try the Det 42.51, most ppl find that works best with DX9.

But I'm not sure that Windows Server 2003 is the best O/S to be using for benching...I'd prefer WinXP with your Intel system.

something to compare...
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6665873

you have at least 10fps more than me in every test, except for the nature test where i get about 75fps....

you get the same low scores with detonator drivers?

I've got the same problem but with Nforce2, 1700+@2100mhz, ti4200 unclocked and windows2003 server. Newest drivers 43.xx did u find any solution or is it just going back to winxp?

Here's my terrible score:

Could be worth it to try 2k or XP with the same config on another partition just to see the difference.
