from a celeron 400 i am using a abit kt7a could it be bios or drivers?? i have the v12.40 drivers do i need bios drivers ?

before i put the new chip in i got 68 on ziff davis 3d media benchmark after the new chip a 40 help me

welcome to the forum.

The Abit KT7a Has a great deal of Bios options for the AGP.. how have you set those up ?

try using a diferent benchmark, like 3d mark 2001, and also do a fresh install of windows and use the 7.49 drivers, they are the best

i have been trying to run 3d mark 2001 but i need direct x 8 and i can't get to microsofts page for some reason ...(a curse for deleting ie) anyways i can't get direct x 8 and it sucks any reason for that ... as for the bios options i went and changed them to what was given to me in the user guide and toyed with some other stuff ... help i need speed
