I tried a new set of beta drivers from here.
My results:
with the 12.90 drivers, my scores were 5249 in 3dMark2000 and 2525 in 3dMark2001 with the specs below.
with the 14.20 drivers, my scores were 5080 in 3dMark2000 and 2433 in 3dMark2001.
I didn't see any noticeable improvement with the new drivers. Perhaps someone with a Geforce 3 could give them a try and report back here with the results. I'm going to leave them in for a few days and see if I notice anything or if I encounter any issues. They're still beta, so I definitely won't keep them for long.
**Update -- I checked the readme with the drivers, it appears the geforce 3 is not supported, only the following are:
