Currently no artifacts or performance issues when benching. My 3DMark seems quite poor though. You think I should try pushing abit more?

i don't know how im getting much mroe than you but our clocks are about the same and your using a faster cpu. im pretty sure that was ran with quality enabled. But check to see if you have aa or ao on cause your score seems a lil low

definitly try new drivers. I was getting 16000 with my 9700 Pro, couldnt figure out wat was going on. I did a defrag and ran 3.7's... http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7136754

Its because of my Jetway mobo. Only has 4x AGP aswell as my DDR400 ram going to waste running in sync with my 133fsb Athlon CPU.

Well I guess it's not 2.8ns since it's 256mb but if it is, it should do more, mine does 411 without mods. But otherwise I think it's you CPU thats holding you back, is it at stock or Oc'ed? If so to what? And what FSB and Timings are you running?

[Wardie]

CPU at stock, with stock cooling. Running around 40c.

AMD Athlon XP 2200+
It's a Thoroughbred A, 133fsb.
Default ram timings, this may effect alot as the ram is only running at 133fsb in sync with the CPU.
Aswell as my mobo only allowing AGP 4x.

Will get a new mobo soon, am building a whole new system aswell though sooo.

With this CPU and motherboard, don't expect too much.

Though you can try re-installing the motherboard drivers (to make sure the AGP driver is working properly) and the ATi drivers again.
