I've been going trough all of the RivaTuner options and performance has improved a little, but I was wondering if I can further tweak a Geforce FX card by changing some of those power user settings.
I think you will get a major performance boost when you'll upgrade your CPU. My 2nd (more for fun) pc, a PIII - 1Ghz, mainly used for playing old (DOS)games, has a Club3D FX5700LE 256mb and i've noticed a 3000 points drop with 3Dmark01 compaired to my XP2800+. My P3 CPU is at it's very max and so is yours.
I tried to replace my CPU and memory, but this is one of those 'secured' Compaq computers. Every time I try to upgrade something (except videocard) the BIOS locks the computer.
Might wanna check out the FX5200 optimization thread. Very helpful for other FX users, too. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134438&perpage=10&pagenumber=1
