shouldnt it be higher?

can someone tell me what i can do to get higher? this is default 3dmark2001 benchmark

thanks in advance

Why are you only running 200 FSB?? Doesnt your mobo support 266FSB?

 

[Taylorm]

it is an old 1ghz. you know the ancient ones that cost 500 dollars when they first came out it is 200fsb

 

[Speedy3D!]

that score seems about right.

 

[afireinsideme]

If you can unlock that cpu and ur motherboard supports 266 it will work fine, that will give you a pretty big increase.

Your processor is obviously a bit of a bottleneck.
Upgrade to the new XP and you should get around 7000

 

[unpluGGedddd]

Yep CPU is bottlenecked, I found over 1360 my score doesnt increase very high...

Unlock ur CPU and raise that FSB!

oh btw.. in 3dmark it says my fsb is 66.. but in bios i have it set to 100/100 (memory,cpu effectively 200fsb)

which do i trust?

dunno why 3dmark would say 66 fsb , maybe because its not familar with the sis 735 chipset?

It should tell you the truth..(almost always)

BTW, that sounds right really..
I got 5700+/- w/ my config

Ti500, Athlon 1.33Ghz...
sounds low huh? But, I have Anisotropic forced to level 8 for that particular benchmark. At the default level, the Radeon 64MB DDR simply kicked its ass in quality department.. but once anisotropy is turned on (even level2..) it's faster and just as good...

Otherwise it's like 7007..

7-007..

That seems about right to me. You are CPU bottlenecked.
