Yesterday I built a computer (my first from scratch), and everything seemed to be going just peachy, until today. To test out the computer, I used 3dmark2001, but was very disappointed. Here are the specs of my computer:
Windows 2000 professional NTFS filesystem
Western Digital 30gig 7200rpm HD
MSI Starforce 831 Geforce 2 Pro
3com 10/100 Mbps Nic
Philips 8x4x32x burner
Generic 24x CDROM
Generic Floppy Drive
Epox 8k7a mainboard
Crucial 256mb pc2100 ddr memory
Amd Thunderbird 1.2 ghz processor (with the hs/fan that came with retail processor)
Enlight 7237 Case w/ one fan in front
My score on 3dmark2001 was 1828. Shouldn't I be expecting a higher score with this computer? Could the problem be with the filesystem that I chose (NTFS instead of FAT)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
