I recently downloaded and ran 3D Mark 2001. Next I compared my score (3499) to those posted on the net, and mine was much lower than the ones I saw on the net (4000-4200). How can I get mine higher. I ahve already overclocked my GPU from 200Mhz to 220Mhz and memory clock from 330 to 360. Here is my computer configuration.

1.2 Ghz athlon CPU running at 1250 =138FSB*9
ECS K7S5A mobo
256MB Crucial DDR SDRAM
Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 (nVidia GeForce 2 GTS GPU, 32MB DDR)
40 GB IDE 100 HD
Onboard sound,lan
Generic PCI Modem(56K)
Windows 98 SE

Any help would be wonderful.

Tweak the drivers, using a program like NVMax, RivaTuner, or the GeForce Tweak. Turn off all running programs except the benchmark, Explorer, and Systray. Remove your desktop wallpaper (temporarily.) Tweak your BIOS, and set the AGP aperture to half the size of your physically-installed RAM. And if your mainboard/video card supports it, set the the AGP port speed to 4X. Finally, defrag your hard drive. That should raise your score.

Other than this, your only choice is to address any heat issues that your system might be experiencing, and/or overclock the rest of your computer.

Thanks. I did all that, and overclocked my gpu to 230 and video ram to 360. I also overclocked my cpu to 1320. Now my score is 4071 which is good enough for me.
