I've got very low performance with detonator xp running on windows xp pro.
My system:
p3 1ghz
ABIT BE6 II
256 ram pc133
IBM DLTA 307030
Asus v6800 deluxe (geforce ddr)
windows xp
detonator xp 21.81

scores:
3dmark 2001: 2200 marks
3dmark 2000: 4300 marks
quake2 demo1: 187 fps
quake2 crusher: 96 fps

This is not normal...I've configured a p3 700 with the same hardware in windows me and in quake2 for example it scored 186 fps demo1, 95 fps crusher, 6500 marks 3dmark2000.
With an athlon 900 in a kt266 board on windows me i´ve got in quake2 218 fps in demo1 and 118 fps in crusher.
Is it the os?
What's wrong?
I'm confused because i've changed processor and operating system at the same time and i don´t know if there is something wrong with my hardware. I wanted to install sisoft sandra 2001se but windows xp says that it is incompatible software.
Has anyone else has windows xp and a significant performance loss with a geforce ddr using detonator xp drivers?

What are you talking about? Windows XP should be amazing! What version of XP are you using? The beta or RCs? If so than it might be a bug in your version. The Detonator XP drivers are designed for the final version of Windows XP.

the detonator xp drivers are the 21.81 drivers... not neccesarily for xp... 2000 and xp share drivers then there are some for 98 and me...

if in doubt blame microsoft...

I have the final version of windows xp professional.
It's not beta, rc1 or rc2.
Xp in my system is not working very well.
I'm having other problems with drivers that don't support windows xp but i need them to have my system working.
If i ask for any support from the hardware manufacturers they only say that windows xp is not released yet so they dont have anykind of drivers for that os.
Windows xp is cool but it's still far from beeing a very nice or great system.
So please dont come to these forums amd_man if you don't have the knowlegd to comment a post.
