WOW ! This one really sux, scored higher with my i386 http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
1. Did you install all the updates from the Asus CD ?
2. Try benchmarking without o/cing.
3. What drivers do you use for your GF ?
4. Did you run the "default" benchmark (640x480x16) ?

Eh? The default benchmark for 3DMark2001 is 1024x768x32.

Does that board has a Via chipset? If it does, try to install the latest 4 in 1 drivers!

My board has an Intel® 850 chipset.
The driver for my GF are:
version 4.12.01.0650

I ran the benchmark at (1600*1200*32) I think.

My fault, default benchmark settings in 3DMark2001 are 1024x768x32, get confused with 3DMark200 http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Use latest updates for your motherboard, and try Det3 v12.90 drivers for the videocard, you currently have v6.50.
And run default benchmark, 1600x1200x32 is a bit high even for Ultra http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Definitely update the drivers to 12.xx or greater....

BTW, 1600x1200x32 is a liitle extreme, especially for a GF-2 series card. A GeForce-3 or Radeon-II would be needed to sustain any reasonable score at this level.

Duh!!! Sorry!
I should have been more careful!
I thought it was problems with Via chipset... didn't noticed he had a P4!!!!
