Only 1 frame per second on 3d Mark test?!!!

Hello,
I just got a computer with 2 xeon 3.6 processors and 3MB Ram and put my 256MB radeon 9600 agp card in the pro agp slot which all works fine. HOWEVER, I just ran the 3d mark test and Ive not seen anything that slow since...Pentium II what could be wrong?

which version of 3dmark?

AGP is going to suffer greatly with modern benchmarks. Your machine might tear it up in CPU tests, but GPU test results will be anemic.

Well is this the CPU PhysX test it never scores high ever I had a core2 quad at 3.8 and it got 2 and 3 frams per sec. Also I assume you r3.6 ghz Xeons are P4 xeons otherwise you would not have a server with AGP so at most you have 2 dual core p4 but most likely two single core p4 type processors or in other words a pile of suck. Just sayin. 3.6 xeon based on p4 architecture will not score well on anything bench wise these days.

Well that sucks. But seriously...there is no way this could be right. 1 frame per second is outrageous for a single pII if you ask me. Is there a setting in the bios or something to do with the card being agp? my older slooooow computer does better with the same card!

Which 3D mark test did you run? 3Dmark 11, with a modern CPU and 6970 (best AMD single GPU card), you'll have FPS go as low as 20ish. Your system is much much weaker on the GPU side. Try an older benchmark, like 3D mark 06.

I did both the 3d Mark 11 then 6 with the same on both 1fps. still makes no sense to me.

Which xeons are you running? exact model?
