Problem with my new RADEON 8500LE

[Chuckyn]

Hi,
I recently bought a Radeon 8500LE and I've benchmarked it with 3DMark2001SE. I only get around 4900 points.
I'm using catalyst drivers ver.02.1.

Is it a problem of my system?
It is an AMD at 700Mhz.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thank you.

Welcome to SysOpt ! :)

Your most serious "bottleneck' is your processor, 700MHz is not what card of this class needs. At least 1.5GHz, I'd say :rolleyes:
