Sorry, no ones been back to you before now v98, take a look at our performance database article and you'll be able to make some sort of a comparison. <A HREF="http://www.guru3d.com/detonator-dbase/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.guru3d.com/detonator-dbase/</A>

3dmark 2000 is very outdated, you might want to dl 3dmark 2001 
when you run the test tho it should set everything to default 
 
1024x768 16 bit 
16bit z buffer 
triple frame buffer 
using d3d hardware t&l optimizations 
 
with your setup you should be scoring around 5000-6000 i would think, possibly a little higher, you could also check to see if your mobo supports the VIA 4in1 drivers and try out some other detonator drivers This message was edited by glslvrfan on 26 Nov 2001 05:52 PM

I get 6900 running 3dmark2000 at 800x600 16bit 
I get 2700 running 3dmark2001 at 1024x768 16bit 
 
My chipset on motherboard is intel so can I still use the 4in1 drivers?

no u cant use the via drivers 
 
your score for is about right, your settings are right 800x600 16 bit for 2000' 
 
but 2001 default is 1024x768 32 bit but you will notice a considerabe drop when you run at 32 bit. 
you may try and download nvmax to oc you video card a little, with stock cooling that should have came on the card, you should be able to raise core and mem, 20 to 30 points each. possibly more with 2 TI, just be very careful. I say should have come with it, because I got a Dell P4 1.4 prebuilt for my wife because it was so cheap, came with an original GF2mx with out even a HS on the card 
you may also try and oc your cpu, but i wouldnt go more to than 900 with it

hi, your getting very good scores but i was thinking the same thing...I have a PII-350 oc to 433 with geforce2 ti like yours, w/ 250/401 defult, winXP, 23.11, 2X 128 or 256 pc-133 and 100 ram, via apollo chipset...my scores are 3dmark 2000= 2831, 3dmark 2001= 1222...i'm going to get a celeron 1.1ghz but do u think i'm getting wrong results.?? <IMG SRC="smileys/cool.gif">
