In the BIOS (normally under "Advanced Chipset Features"), you'll need to increase the "AGP Aperture Setting" to 128M in order to run the 64MB rendering test.;)

That's a really bad score m8. Is your GF2 new? did you do a clean install of the drivers?

Also, what error are you getting at the 64Mb test?

Does 3DMark2K just skip the 64MB rendering test, or do you get an error message when it tries to run (like...Not enough AGP memory)? Does it lock up Windows or send you back to the desktop? If you get an error message, could you please post it?

Firstly,yes the card is new.
Secondly ,the benchmark crashed out when it started doing the 64mb rendering for the first time.
i tried torestarte the 3dmark and was prompted with something on the lines of not enough mem in 3d accelerator
Ithen rebooted my machine and the benchmark started fine till it came to the dreaded 64mb rendering it said not supported or not enough memory

What version of the Detonators are you using? There appears to be a memory problem with the 21.81 version.

Yep your scores are severly low. Now with my Radeon 64 DDR I score over 3400 at default with a t birdy 1.2 MSI K7T266 Pro Raid board and 2x 256 pc2100 crucial ddr ram.

Try a fresh install get detonator destroyer from www.guru.com I believe, get rid of previous drivers and see what happens when you install again, possibly try the 12.90's.

Hope this suggestion helps, if all else fails back up and format usually that solves alot of probs with a clean os install and fresh drivers.
