3dmark2001se score: 15959

My rig:
p2.66@3.00 (150 fsb)
512mb xms pc3200
ati Radeon 9700 pro
windows xp sp1

The stock on the radeon is 325/310...right?
I've upped it to, or think I did, using radeon tweak to 330/330. The reason I post this is because my 3dmark2001 scores have been dropping. Not that it really matters, but it just bothers me. I've had 16144 with 2.66@2.95, but now 3ghz, it's dropped. wtf?

The only thing i could imagine that would lower your score from at 3ghz is the speed your memory is running. Do you have to back down to a lower memory divider at that speed, as opposed to 3/4 or higher at 2.95 ghz?

[Calavera]

I didn't touch the memory divider speed.
Yesterday, I was able to get 16160 with 2.66@2.98 (149fsb)
But 3dmark would crash sometimes. Also, hot cpu tester would crash as well. I upped the vcore of cpu to 1.550 but I think it's still unstable.

I have no clue what the problem could be.

whoa...nice score dude!

[pip]

you have no clue?
you just said it crashes when you have a higher OC if you can't figure it out yourself I don't think we can help you

[Calavera]

But it doesnt crush all the time. Right now I'm back to 2.66@3.00, 150fsb and it does not crush at all. The score just doesn't go over 16k.

The comp does not freeze or shows error messages anymore.
