Any tips?

Yeah, I would think your system would be closer to 26k. Here's my best with 9800Pro at 450/370.........http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8207312

You have 2GB of memory running at 300MHz?!?! Is that some sort of record?

ugh yea, try using win2k. I crush you in car high with my ti4200 and my cpus alot slower than yours, so is my ti4200! plus your fsb is way higher and your dual channel too! you need a clean install of 2k above all. I bet your xp install isnt even clean

just wondering
would a mobile 3400 + 754 DFI board perform better overall then my msi neo2 plat and 3500 s939?

I doubt there would be much of a difference between those two systems. Stick with what you've got.
EDIT: And with regards to Windows 2000, it should give you about a 500 point boost at the same settings you have now. I think you should try overclocking your vid card a bit more, because your Nature scores seem a little low. Other than that, :toast:.

Very interesting comparing my score with yours.
I just got 24k using my system..
A64 3200+ Mobile @ 251x10 1.7v
2 x 256mb Twinmos 3200/Bh5 @ 251mhz 2,2,10,2,1T 3.2v
DFI UT @ 3x251 HTT 1.6v chipset, 1.6v AGP.
ATI Radeon 9800pro @ 440/387. Omega Cat3.5.
Win2kpro SP2, DX8.1

Im not sure why im faster in some places and you are better in others..
Maybee somebody can explain?
The ther Pic is my sandra memory and superPI with the 754 system.
34sec superPI and 3900mb/s sandra.

By my reconing you "should" probably beat me in every test.
You have better graphics clocks.
Faster CPU and more bandwith..
Maybe win2k is the key?
I didnt think it made all that much difference.
Im also able to run my system at 1T
I think that makes a BIG difference with A64.
With 3 sticks or ram I cant run 1T, only 2T is stable, but for benching its quicker to take a stick out and run at 1T.

probably get to 26.5k with win2k and better drivers and tighter timings on memory especially with a R360 flashed to 9800XT and 498 on that core
here's my Gecube 9800Pro Extreme R350 @ 490/402
3dmark2001 = 27,131 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8210243) - #15 ranked on Orb for 9800Pro R350

eva2000
10-30-2004, 05:40 PM
Yeah DX8.1 is better for 3d2k1, going to reformat myself today for dx8.1 and hopefully improve on my 27k score

The latest 4.10 betas are pretty good in 2001SE, as well. That's what I used for this run: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8213541
Now that I look, Eva2000 is using 4.10 betas, too.

wow how much of a gain did you experience over the older 4.9 cats? do you think my cpus powerful enough to break 21k marks?
Let's go idontknow! You have a way phatter CPU/Memory speed than mine, you should be able to beat my WinXP/DX9.0c/Cat4.10 score easily 26,284 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8205928) :p:
