Hello!!! I recently downloaded 3Dmark2001 and tried it out! I got some bad results!!! Most of the tests were choppy or slow! Specially the one with the flying dragons!!! I got about 1fps at most!!! And in the Nature Demo I get about 7fps!!! Why is it so slow!? My configuration is the following:

Geforce3
Abit KT7-Raid motherboard
AMD Athlon 1.2Mhz
512MB of PC-133 Crucial non-ECC RAm
Quantum Fireball Plus as ATA/100 hard disk
SoudBlaster Live Value Sound card
I am using the latest Nvidia Drivers. I run Wun98 Second Edition. I run only two things in the background, and that is Explorer and Systray. Why does my system seem to behave so slowly?
Thanks for any help!!!

The only video drivers that I have ever installed are the ones that I downloaded from the Nvidia Website. What else could it be?

Have you installed the latest, or at least semi-recent drivers for your motherboard from VIA? If not, that may be your problem. Check out http://www.viatech.com for the latest 4 in 1 drivers.

*has nasty flashbacks*

try different versions of your graphics drivers,
namely:
the latest from nvidia and the latest from the maker of your geforce3.


I'll respect your comments & opinions, even if i disagree with them, Provided you display maturity.
