Brian Frank 0 Posted March 8, 2001 First this post isnt a "Why is my system so dope?" This is just about seeing what peoples rigs can benchmark. I saw Inferno2000's 3DMark score...Wow! Now that is one "dope" system. My score thus far in 3DMark: 3054 My specs on the sig line. ------------------ Whaazzzupppppppppp!

EddiE314 0 Posted March 8, 2001 i'm have a bottleneck in my system or something with Win2k, i get around 3400 in Windows 98SE and Windows ME is about the same. in Win2k Pro i get around 1700-2000, anyone know why? Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted March 8, 2001 I think its cause of the way the OS cores are programmed. Win9x is targeted at the home, so stability is sacrificed for speed. Win2k seems to be another beast entirely. Microsoft didnt target it as a speed demon, and more for businesses so keeping the pc up and running outweighed the need to have the fastest OS. However, Inferno2000 just posted a score in the mid 7000's. I think he's running Win2k. I tweak the swap file, overclock, use X-setup's enhancements like enabling ata66 under win2k, some cache settings. This might seem obvious but, do you defrag your hard drive?
