well, i installed rage 3d tweak and o'clocked my vid card to 301 MHz on the core and 310 MHz on the RAM. then i turned up my FSB 5 MHz so my 1733 MHz was now running just over 1800 MHz. Last but not least i put in a sitck of 512 MB Corsair XMS pc2700 and turn my CPU command read rate or something like that to Ultra, and the RAM timings were Cas 2, 4 bank i'leave, 2-5-2-2-1. and that was it, 10040. if you need more detail i can try to help. just ask.

that corsair XMS is what put me over the mark. that is some nice RAM. i am sure i could go higher by turning up my FSB a little more, but it was late and i had to work the next morning.

i am assuming these are your scores? if so, nice!!. i wasn't implying that my score was one of the highest scores, it was just a personal goal to hit at least 10000.

anyways...10678. congrats!

notice a big diff though for the bro who scored 10040 as his cpu is at 1800 mhz vs you P4 at over 2ghz you should score higher.

I scored 10040 wqith my 8500 LE 128 DDR running at 1744mhz in system in my sig

Nice dude although I think you should look into more tweaking around the bios. I had a similar setup: KR7A, XP at 1.7 - 166FSB, 256mb Kingmax, ATI Radeon 8500 128 Retail @ 300/300 for benchmarks and I managed 10400 3dmarks and that was with the old 6071 drivers.

Check your memory timings, FSB will help, drivers, check bios tweaks. Not that your score isn't good - personally anything over 10K is great but if you want more! :D

I just joined the 10,000 mark club with a score of 10026... I ran my cpu at 1890MHZ and my vid card was oc'd to 295/300..here's one draw back...I had to bring the ram down from 166 to 140 because it couldn't handle the oc...but I was able to use some killer aggressive ram settings to make up for it.
