    1.2 Ghz Celeron
    256 Megs of pc133 ram
    40 gig 5400 rpm Maxtor
    Asus TUSC
    Windows XP Pro
    Geforce 2 MX 200 PCI 32 meg

    I got a score of 53! No, it isnt a typo, 53 is the score. I didnt know I can get a score that low and the benchmark acually runs. Is there something wrong?

    bob, score is accurate, get a nice cheap Ati 9600 pro and see the difference.LOL.I just upgraded mine from a g2mx to 9600 and I'm well impressed.

    Bob, you have a gf2mx 200 sitting on the PCI bus. Your card has a low clock, two pipes, no pixel or vertex shaders, and slow 64-bit SDRAM.

    This benchmark is designed to task cards running twice as fast or more, with 8 pipes, tons of pixel and vertex shaders, and fast 256-bit DDR RAM.

    The only test you can run is test 1, and since that's primarily single textured it doesn't even take advantage of the second TMU on your card's twin pipes. All you have is fill rate which is limited by a slow core and two pipes, and bandwidth, which is almost non-existent, being less than one fifteenth that of a Radeon 9800 Pro, or one twentieth of a 5900 Ultra.

    oh yeah and guys, when it gets artifacty i pull off. if i increase agp voltage a little bit will i be able to get higher timings?

    u think i have to increase voltage? cuz if i go any higher i get slight artifacts, and on "hot hardwares" review they raised agp voltage to 1.70 volt and then they raised the ati radeon 9600 pro to like 537 clock and 360 something memory. i was like WHOA

    so should i increase my voltage?

    and if I say yes and you fry your board?

    remember they are only benchmarks, you may not notice the difference in gameplay,

    The risk is yours, I have not increased my agp voltage, so far.

    but you could oc that barton a little more, mines is at 2328(12x195) with one fan and the slk800. would get you a few more 3d marks.

    im still with stock hsf, and + when i run at 400 fsb it crashes on video games, but not on 3d mark. maybe because im still at 1.65v do i need to bump it?

    wait till you got a good heatsink, upping the core voltage increases the heat output quite a bit. You seem to be doing pretty good with your set so far.

    Why do you have the Pagefile disabled, Juise? Compare Link Here.

    If you have enough ram disabling the page file gives you better overall system performance. With the page file disabled the OS doesn't read/write system info to the disk, it instead keeps it in ram which is faster, at about the same CPU cost as disk access.

    Taken from aumha.org:
    Strictly speaking Virtual Memory is always in operation and cannot be “turned off.” What is meant by such wording is “set the system to use no page file space at all.”

    Doing this would waste a lot of the RAM. The reason is that when programs ask for an allocation of Virtual memory space, they may ask for a great deal more than they ever actually bring into use — the total may easily run to hundreds of megabytes. These addresses have to be assigned to somewhere by the system. If there is a page file available, the system can assign them to it — if there is not, they have to be assigned to RAM, locking it out from any actual use.”
    I have, in the past, tried disabling the pagefile, and for good measure also deleted pagefile.sys... but an actual performance increase was never apparent. I was just wondering about your experiences
