Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

as it's only 500 pts more than I got on my old setup.

He who pays extra for PC2700, wastes money, unless he wants to use it overclock bus speeds.
Running RAM faster than Bus = no performance gain, PC2700 is waste of time unless you run a 166Mhz bus.
Monk, use 23.11 dets, they are the best for GF3.

looks like ppl with higher scores have raised their fsb, worth doing or not u reckon?

i dont know any tips for 3DMark tbh but i think its a right load of old gannys knickers anyway
i do however know how to get your UT fps thru the roof and bind it all so you can turn things on and off at your lesure
you are prolly able to do it anyway but if not give us an ICQ and you can have my User and UT ini's to test them out

yeh got that Gigabyte board which looked good, went from AMD 1.4 and 512 PC133 to XP 2000 and 256 DDR. 3Dmark is about 1000 better now, higher performance with 23.11s.
UT2k3 was almost unplayable on the 23.11 (1024 res = 6fps), went back to 21.83 and it's a lot better but still not as good. I was getting smooth 40-60 framrates with 6 bots @ 640x480 on almost all maps, now with 1 bot the frame rates peak the same, but drops significantly when say, I walk over a hill to about 10-15fps then increases accordingly.

Btw I see you got crucial DDR. Now go on, unlock the CPU if necessary give the memorys some voltage* and up the fsb as much as possible
2.5 volts is just useless for any DDR to run stable, 2.6-2.9 volts is a good range for any use, that Crucial should do at least 155 mhz @ cas 2-2-2 with ease (Epox boards for example use 2.6 volts as default)

I set the DDR Voltage to 2.6V and the CPU hst Clk to 135
800x600 @ max setting seems fairly decent tbh, still jerks a little going over hills but generally is consistent @ 40-60fps. Just tried it out on my bros setup (ti4400, 256ddr, XP1800, does exactly same thing; maybe I need another 256mb of ram or something??)
What the most I should try raising these levels to then, bearing in mind I don't have any cooling other than the retail hs/fan that came with teh CPU), atm the Idle CPU temp is 49degrees and I want a system thats gonna be stable.

im getting wank 3dmark scores too, like 6500, overclocked my GF3 a bit up to 225/515 and got 6900
i used to get 7000+ on the older version
<--- for specs

ut2k3 takes a lot of tweeking im still doing stuff at the mo when i have a good combination of things that make it run at a nice high fps ill post what i changed
