Here's my problem: 3dmark 2001 was going very very slowly on my sister's computer and it got a score way below what everyone else of the same configuration got. Just FYI, her computer is this:
Pentium III 933
VIA Chipset (693 I think)
256 MB PC133 RAM
Voodoo3 3000 AGP (Replaced shortly)
Anyway, I eventually tracked what may be causing the problem to the memory. In Sandra 2001 it benchmarks at about 150. This is dreadful as it falls back to the PC66 days range! I messed around with BIOS settings, swapped in different memory (from my computer, which is only PC100 and it gets 340 in Sandra easily) and installed the newest VIA 4in1s, but nothing seems to make a difference. No matter what I do, it gets those exact numbers (within 2 points).
I am completely stumped by this one. I also admit that I know very little about VIA chipsets, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
