Nothing changed. 275/300. Even lowered the CPU clock speed. Just installed the latest drivers... wala! 12059.

ED - w00t w00t! GP! I have you beat by 25 3dmarks with a much lower clocked 4200 and air!
Just shows how much 3dmark likes memory bandwidth.. you really need to raise your FSB , man. I mean, my board doesn't even have dividers for 333FSB, yours does... the MSI KT3 ultra2 I take it? Hint: With CL2.5 PC2100, you need to raise the voltage to 3.0 and increase DCLK0 and 1 from AUTO to 0.5 or 1.0, whatever gives you stability. It does give you more bandwidth than 266MHz with tight timings. Lower burst length from 8 to 4, and if necessary elevate RAS precharge and RAS-to-CMD.

Managed a bit more out of it.
CPU now up to 1.95, card up to 285/621.

ED - vram speed corrected.

so the 42.10 is faster eh?.... may have t have a go with them myself... see if i can get closer to 12K...

After endless re-tuning and configuration, with 3dmark crashing to the desktop, I was finally able to reach a stable combination: 169FSB, with the mem @ 338 and 3.1v. Although the CPU is clocked lower (1.94), elevating the multiplier by 0.5 would push it above 1.97, the highest speed at which it is stable at. The card is clocked with all bus settings (AGP4x, fast writes, 1WS R/W) and 285/621.

Yes, GRentarc, apparently the new drivers are faster... even though I don't have DX9 installed yet.
At least they're 2000 points faster than the old 35.x's I had installed before
ED BTW --- what voltage are you putting into your DIMMs? (If your mobo has the options) I hear they're rated for PC166, so who knows, perhaps if you pump them up you could go to 170 or even 175 with a few timings relaxed here and there... hell the GF4 can take 85MHz bus speeds and more with ease!

I think upgrading myself to win2k will probably help more. According to beeblequix, there's a 400 point difference betweeen 2k/xp and win9x.
My ram is holding me back from getting over 144/145 ish on the fsb with advanced timings.
This is where my signature would go if I wasn't so lazy.

Again, as I said, raise DCLK0 and DCLK1 to 1.0 in the BIOS and you should be able to hit 166 FSB with an unlocked CPU.
And why are you using WinME? ... You're right about native 32-bit OSes... and especially XP.. can utilize SSE itself

I use winME because I like the challenge. I only get BSODs when I push OCs too hard or install crappy hardware.

No 1/5 divider on my board. I have the kt3 ultra "1" - the neglected early release model. I don't feel good running my pci freq over 40 mhz. I don't think my ti4200 likes it.

I didn't get epox because I was less educated in the beginning of 2002 than I am now.
Once I unlock my XP2000 I'll give 166 fsb a try.
Running asynch doesn't help anything, and my pc2100 has no chance of making it to 200 mhz.

Actually running asynch does nothing for the pci/agp bus, it only changes the mem bus. Hence the work asynchronous.
