Kewl! Finally got the new system assembled and no glitches yet! MSI Motherboard is working fine, as is the GeForce 4 4600 card. I finally have the system I've been drooling for!
Here's what 3D Mark says....I'd be curious what others are getting (3D Mark 2001 SE available at MadOnion.Com for free)

Wow...nice marks, guys!
I guess the 8,000 mark is the holy grail or marks to beat (from what I saw at MadOnion).
Only weakness I have now is a laggy dialup (AOL!) I'm warping around the arena a bit from time to time and DSL is not available where Im at. Cable is, but its Adelphia and who knows how long they'll be around :D
-
That's a good score LePaul. I'd run the benchmark too, but the new build 330 is 42 megs. On my 26.4 kbps connect that would take a whole day to download. (I sure miss my network connection at Oregon State, that would have taken about 1 minute.) :( You could probably pass 10000 easy with just a small amount of tweaking, but if you're like me it's not worth bothering with. :)

Bloom...
I used to have cable, then DSL at my old place. Im real close to the CO but DSL is not available in this apartment complex yet. So, I'm dialup. Just got a new ISP last night, pings of 90ms to the Aces High servers :) At work, we have a T1, so I generally download from work, copy to ZIP disk, or burn a CD if it exceeds what the ZIP can hold.
Shoot me your address in email (webmaster@checksix.net) and I can beam over a CD with 3DMark 2001 and any other requests you have....Jedi Night demo, US Army etc etc...I can drop it in the mail tonight :)
Tweaking? Hmmm....such as?
-
You could bump up the FSB (front side bus) from 133 Mhz. It's likely you could increase it by a small amount without any problems. Or, if you are running PC2700 memory and you haven't done so, set the memory to run at 166 MHz. You can also overclock your video card's memory and GPU core frequency using a program like RivaTuner. Whatever you do, make sure you keep track of the defaults in case you push the system too far and it becomes less stable.

Bump
I finally loaded the benchmark test, off the top of my (bald) head, my score was roughly 9100 (see system set up below) with a GeForce 3 128 meg. T200.
-
For a GeForce 3 card, that score is superb.
-
For reference my Athlon 1900+ system, OC to 1680 MHz (2012+) w/ 143 MHz FSB and an MSI 64 MB GeForce 4 Ti 4200 card (also OC) scores 11399.

Just got home, score was 8750, that was after all the XP tweaks I did a couple weeks ago.

Hah all your systems suck compared to mine..
Check this out.

Holy friggin stability batman! If I ever tried to up my FSB to 163 I think my computer would melt. The most successful I've ever been able to boot at was 155, but frequent crashes and lockups forced me back to 150. Even at that speed I'll get intermittent BSOD. However, I know that the problem is my HDD...stupid IBM Deskstar drives....
That is one hell of a 3DMark score.

I've seen that picture before, Tom's Hardware I think. ;)

:eek: Wow! Well, I'll wait on the video card upgrade, I generally as a rule wait one year min. before upgrading. You save money that way, and it takes that long for software to "catch up" with the hardware technology anway. For instance, I paid $100 for a Geforce 3 recently, I believe that 16 months ago they were what, $400?
-
Wow... is the GF4 4600 that much better than the GF3 Ti 200?
I have an MSI KT3 Ultra2, AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 256MB PC2100, and a Gainward GF3 Ti200 at 230/500Mhz, and my score is at around 7500.
Is the pickup you got from the GF4 LePaul? Or does that extra 256MB of RAM make a big difference? I guess you've also got 128MB of VRAM on there too, and I'm only pushing 64... (only? I remember when a 4MB card was awe inspiring!)
