<IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> I've just been benchmarking my system:<br>
Athlon1.2 266fsb<br>
K7S5A Mobo<br>
Super GEforce2 MX400 64mb<br>
<br>
and originally got a score of 2400, which I felt to be a bit low, but thought I'd mess around with GTU to see what I could do. Anyway, turned on a couple of settings (one was forcing 4xAGP mode) and it was very slow - I didn't even bother finishing the tests! I then uninstalled GTU, updated the Detonators from 21.83 to 22.80, and the score on 3dmark jumped to 2680 which I think is a bit of a performance boost.<br>

D <IMG SRC="smileys/confused.gif"> oes anyone have any tips to tweak out any more power from this reasonable card?<br>

<IMG SRC="smileys/wink.gif"> Also, as a sideline, I looked in the 3dmark section where it details every single aspect of your system, scores and all (forgotten exactly the name), and noticed below the processor info, that the external bus speed is 66mhz. Now, is this actually correct or not? Just a thought. What exactly does the 266mhzFSB mean? <IMG SRC="smileys/cool.gif"> <br>
<br>
(external bus speed 66?)
