Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before, but I can't seem to find an answer that matches my spec. Is this a good score for the following on 3DMark 2001:

Athlon 1.2 ghz
Asus a7v-e 133 (200fsb)
Creative GF3 Ti500 (AA off)
SB Live Platinum
512mb Crucial Cas-2 SDRAM
IBM Deskstar 75gxp (7200 RPM)

To get it higher, what would you recommend? Is it worth changing my mobo to a 266, and if so, would I need to get a new CPU and memory?

Yup, your FSB is the bottleneck. So is your memory. If you want to upgrade, then I suggest upgrading to a DDR motherboard and DDR RAM.

AMD technology + Intel technology = Intel/AMD Pentathlon IV; the <b>ULTIMATE</b> PC processor

Thanks for the reply :)

Would you say that this is a fair score for my current set-up? If I replaced the Mobo and RAM but not the CPU (being a bit short of cash) would I see an increase?
