Well...B3D is where I got the news from. And as far as "tricks" go...it's only being speculated.

Just upgraded to 44.03 Detonators and my 3DMark 2001SE score actually dropped from 9161 to 9027. I'll run it a few more times to see what kind of fluctuation I get.

My rig:
Abit KR7A 133DDR mobo (133MHz FSB)
Athlon XP 1800+ (Palomino)
Two 256MB sticks of Crucial PC2100 (CAS latency set to 2 in BIOS, my only tweak)
GeForce4 Ti 4200 64MB

Incidentally, I see no point in running 3DMark 03 as my graphics card doesn't support DX9. Is there any reason I </i>should</i> run it?

I think it's the FX drivers that they're cheating with....

And as far as benching your machine with 3DMark03 goes...it's up to you. I like watching the demo.....
