Score seems very low?!

[gobbo]

I've just finished doing some tweaks on my system, but my 3D makr score seems a little low, is this as high as i can get it, or can i get a few more points out of this system.

Athlon xp 2000+ @ 178x10.5=1874 @ 1.85Vcore
512 Mb Samsung 333 @ 356DDR @ 2.7V @ agressive timings
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU @ 178FSB
XFX GeForce 4 Ti4200 @ 310/610

BTW i'm using Detonator 40.72

I can probs squeeze to 180FSB, but my GeForce 4 starts giving me trouble @ 182.

My score is 11,854

I was hoping for between 12-13k+??

Am i being over hopeful or can i get more?

My best on the kx7 ->http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4473761
My best on the msi ultra 2 ->http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4689387
Best on my ECS k7vta3 3.1 ->http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4425703

You'll notice that the msi and ecs scores are very close .... but that the cpu speed difference is immense. This is why my sig says what it does.

Yeah, it loosk like MSI really do suck, but i got the mobo cheep so it might be time i thought about getting a decent Abit or Epox board

I'm thinking KX7??

[docah]

I'm dumping this msi asap ... just need to find a poor sap that will give me some dough for it. note: looking at my rma page at newegg it looks liek i can still refund the board ... i may do that.

Those Kx7's are cool , but you might want to ask what rev you will get. older ones are apparently not as nice as new ones. though mine still hit 200fsb before i killed it :-/

[gobbo]

Yeah, i might get it from Marci's store as he does them pre voltmodded

[docah]

I think pilsy had a modded one for sale. not sure though.

another vote for the KX7, great board, best i've ever had in fact.
