    even a xp2200+ willl be good..


    I think you ram/motherboard is your bottle neck( for you)

    I love your system just as it is!


    with a faster ram like 333 you might get better scores!

    also what version of dx are you usin?
    try udatin them too!



    lastly
    you might wana try benchmarkin under windows 98!
    you might get better results.. you never know!

    This might just be me, i am using a lower end card than a GF4, but i do found out something perculiar with the VIA 4-in-1 driver. Try using the VIA 4-in-1 driver version 4.40 and not 4.42, unless you use the latest chipset e.g. KT333 and above. Coupled with the latest nVidia driver Detonator 40, it should jack your 3Dmark score higher, for me i got 500 higher, for you might be more.

    For your info, i am using WinXP too... my spec are :
    Athlon XP 2000+
    512MB Ram DDR266
    GF2Ti

    My 3dMark score without any tinkering is around 5500 give or take 10?
