Only difference between your system and mine is the memory, I have ddr pc2100 as opposed to your 133mhz flavour. What version of drivers did you try?
www.guru3d.com has all of them, for your system I would recommend the 23.11 set. If that's what you have tried then it must be the memory that is holding you back, just find it hard to beleive the difference in scores,3200 as opposed to 1500, that's all.:confused:
How long will this thread continue before it gets "moved"? :D
Moved? Where? It's already in Benchmarking. :rolleyes:
Someone posted a thread in Benchmarking that had to do with Benchmarking but got moved since it had so many posts, my friend.
Benchmarking threads should stay here, some times I guess they try to "level the playing field" but that's a poor idea that I hope has been abandoned. I look here to see if some one is doing a lot better with the same equipment, to keep up if I can (I can't). It's interesting. :) I'm about 6850 3D marks:(
moved to where?, "because it had so many posts", moved to the "very long thread" forum of course!! LOL.:D
Threads will only be moved if they don't stick to the original topic or don't have anything to do with the forum they are in originally. And as community posts don't count, most drivel usually ends up in there. Newbies, however, may post a hard drive question in the tech forum and get moved to the storage one where they will probably get more help, for example my friend.:-@
Isn't it entertaining how the anominity of the internet can allow us to have so many alternate personna's. :-@ :-@ :D
Its easier to be a cross dresser though ;)Quote:

I dunno, wouldn't like walk round your patch wearing a pink dress and pigtails. Come to think of it, I wouldn't like to walk round anywhere dressed in a pink dress and pigtails. mind you, doesent Hartlepool have a strong naval connection? or is just french spies that are well hung up there?:D
indeed - around my neck of the woods even looking at someone for more than a few seconds can warrant having your teeth kicked so far down your throat your forced to eat all your meals rectally for the rest of your life :pQuote:
