I recently upgraded to a Athlon XP 1800+ from a PIII 500 mhz.
I also swithed to 266 mhz DDR memory, as opposed to my erlier 320 MBs of standard 133 mhz SDRAM. My graphics card is the Riva TNT2 model 64.
I ran 3D Mark 2001SE awaiting a positiv surprise. But no, my score had only increased from 590(old hardware) to 603(brand new hardware). After upgrading the driver from the bundled one to the newest Detonator XP driver i got the score up to 675. Both benchmarks were ran under a resolution of 1024x768 with 32 bit colors.
So tell me, is my score too low? According to madonion.com, a person with the same hardware got over 1000 points! I have the newest drivers and DirectX 8.1. What could be causing this subnormal amount of 3D Mark-points?
Any comments and replies will be much appreciated. Thank you.
