VERY low 3dmark 2001SE score

[Matthius]

okay, well its prolly not that low, but i think it is for what i have. i have:

AMD2000XP
256MB DDR 2100
Geforce4 mx440
jetway mobo
40gb hdd (not sure the rpm crap)
Windows XP Proffesional
ah, need ne thing else?

oh and my score was about 3500. im guessing its my ram mainly, then the vid card...am i right? (oh and the mobo)

3500 ain't bad for a GF4 MX.

If you haven't tried raising your FSB on the motherboard, you may wish to try going down that road. I found raising the FSB by 10 MHz gave more 3DMark inprovement than overclocking the NVCLK on the video card by 10 MHz

These numbers are for example only.
10x multiplier @ 133MHz FSB = 1.3 GHz CPU
9x mult @147 FSB = 1.3 GHz CPU
The second example give a higher 3DMark than the first example with the same video card.

you probably have one of those new crap mx440 with the 64 bit memory bus
