Got the Celey to be stable @ 987, but less performance than @ 877?

I have my Celeron II 700 running @ 956 @ 2.05v and it is perfectly stable. Ran seti@home for 5 hours, and never froze so i am messing around now. I used to get an average of 106fps in quake3arena with my Celeron II 700 @ 877 on my P3V4X. Dma had to be turned off. But now i have my Celeron II 700 on a ABIT BF6. The P3V4X has AGP 4x. The BF6 has 2x. I now get 83fps on my bf6. What is up? I am @ 75mhz more, not to mention the more fsb, which should give me more fps right? The only difference between the P3V4X and the BF6 is that the P3V4X is VIA so the memory can be set to 33mhz more than fsb. My memory was running @ 126mhz on my P3V4X, and the agp 4x. No my memory runs @ fsb speed, and it has agp 2x. Is agp 2x the problem? How can i tell? I am running Windows 2000.
Just for more info, I had kind of the same problem on my P3V4X. I didn't update my 4in1 drivers, and when i did i went to 106fps in a timedemo rather than 83fps.

No, 4x isn't really the prob. You already said what the difference is: mem@126 as opposed to mem@83. That's a pretty damn big diff. :)

I agree- 30% less memory speed is a big drop. The frame rate decrease you're getting isn't really too bad for that big of bandwidth decrease.

Save your money and put a PIII on that BF6 and it'll fly. My 700 runs at 150FSB so my memory is hauling ass.

Thanx guyz, i figured that was it! But someone said it was my agp, so i thought id se. I am getting a P3 450 from a friend for 20 bucks just to build another computer with, and on the forum most hitt 600 + so i should be ok with that.
