Alright I have no idea whats happening here , here is my system -
8k7a with athlon 1.2
leadtek G2 ultra
little HDD I took out of my IBM
Alright the first time I set everything up on my PC including the latest drivers I was getting like 9500 in 3Dmark 2000 , 4500 in 3Dmark 2001 and in the Q3 time demo @ 32bit color it was like 127fps @ 16bit color 155fps.
Ok then I decided to reformat my HDD and after I installed all my drivers I decided not to reinstall a cpu cooling program so I did some benchmarks and sure enough my memory scores were up some and I'm pretty sure my cpu scores went up some also which is great. Well then I installed 3dmark2000 and fully expected my scores to go up some , after the default benchmark was done I lokked over and first thought it said 9700 but I took a double take and the score was actually 5700 , wow almost a 4000 point drop from what? Well I ran the benchmark again and watch it this time and it was noticably slower than I remember it , you know kind of choppy even the cpu speed test was way slower.
Well after 3 reformats and reinstalling the drivers and resetting CMOS I can honestly say I dont know whats wrong. The only things I can think of are when I try to install the AMD 761 miniport driver from my mobo disk the amdmp480 I get this error "Cannot find this file or one of its components C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\suratreg.exe" , I would of posted a screen shot but every time I try to save the file as a .gif it comes out invalid so theres no picture. When I install the 4in1 drivers I dont have that problem though? Also my boot up in way faster and the only thing I really noticed is this "ECC PCI Audio Adaptor not installed" or something like that.
Well I hope that enough info I will be back online some time later today.
