Hi all, i’m new here. I used this motherboard with Athlon 3200+
(Venice) and Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro 256 MB. My problem is: Score in
3D Mark 2003 1024x768 is about 8000, I use Windows Me and newest
Catalyst driver. My friend use the same system and it’s score reaches
12000 (He use Windows XP). Is this can be solved by upgrading OS to
XP? Thanks a lot.

Don't know. But Linux would be faster yet.

Definitely. Friends don't let friends drive WinME... ;-)

Seriously, I would expect the the XP driver to much more stable than the
Me driver.
