My 3DMark scores. Something wrong?

[Guest]

My 3dmark scores seem to be low . But i can't find out what is wrong .
I got a 4750 . I have a geforceMX and 6.31 drivers installed. I did not make any changes upon registry or drivers.
My system
P3-800
Asus Cusl2-c mb
Asus 7100t GeforceMX
256MB kingston cas3 ram
SBlive Value
vice versa.

Not good, but than the mx is not a stellar performer. Should be about 1000 higher though I think. Do you have it set to 4X agp in bios? I made a few bios tweaks in my system and picked up about 500 marks. And setting my system to Cas3 to see what the difference was-that was a real disappointment! Try manually setting your memory to Cas2 and see if it's still stable.

BTW, too bad you got the 800-you probably won't even be able to get the bus speed up to 133, and that's where the magic begins. I'm thinking that it's a combination of slow memory timing, slow bus speed to the memory, and the lower performance of the MX card that is causing your low scores.

Well my bus speed is 133mhz. so i dont think that is the problem. System memory is Kingston 133mhz 256 mb value ram (i payed it 236 dolar , anyway). It won't work stable on Cas2. I am sure. But as I know performance gap between cas2-cas3 is no more than %5 . Am I wrong?

on 3D-Mark 2000 I saw a difference of about 10%, maybe 15%, I know it was significant.

i got a little better. i got @5100 w/ the following

asus a7v (bios rev. 1005.a)
duron 800mhz.
256 pc133 micron cas3
leadtek geforce ddr. (det. rev. 6.31)
sbLive! x-gamer

nothing overclocked. i think your weak link is the video card.
