OK here is the deal.My old pc would consistantly score around 5350 on 3dmark2000.It was a PIII 1000,284mb of ram and a 32mb geforce 2 card.
I upgraded to a PIV 1700,512mb ram.Ran 3dmark2000 and received a score of 3500+ -.Ran 3dmark2001=696+-.Upgraded video card to a 64mb nvidia card.I still can not get results anywhere near as good as my older much much slower system.Test settings I used were identical.Besides the upgrades listed there was nothing else changed on my system.OS is still win me.Motherboard is an asus p4 blah blah blah.So far my rather hefty investment in speed has backfired.Anyone know why?
