run the default 1024x768 bench once
and 7500 if everything is stock sounds normal for the setup

Don't mind me...just checking the fire extinguishers.

Hmm...did u try using the same windows install for both systems or is this a fresh install? sometimes using the same install of windows will not work too well, if thats the case.

same install of windows??? what do you mean?

when u changed out your processor and motherboard...did u reinstall windows or did you use the installation that was on the harddrive already?

I would say that something is up. My score was 72XX with:
1.4 TBird
512MB PC133
Radeon 8500 (250/275) - catalyst 2.2
30GB WD
Win 2K
I would assume that you should see at the least around 8500+. When I receive the Retail 8500 in the next day or two (long story) I will see what, if any difference there is in my score. You may want to check your bios settings and make sure they are optimized and not some bs setting like AGP 1X.

That doesn't sound right at all....
I have a XP2000+ as well, on a MSI KT3 Ultra 2 (KT333A) with a GF4Ti4200, 256 mb ram ddr333 and Win2k SP1. With a bit of overclocking (fsb 145 mhz; gf4 to 310/620) I got up to 12,125 3DMark2001SE score. I can't imagine that the Radeon 8500 is THAT much worse than the GF4.
Cheers,
Ronald

still at that were talkin bout 1500 marks.... i expected at least a 9000 on this thing... cause "supposedly" the AMD 2000 is better than my p4 1.8a.... the ram IS better its pc3200 vs pc2100.... and the video card in the AMD is a radeon 8500 with 128megs.... and mine in the p4 is the 64 meg one.....
well the computer is out of my hands now..... the person has it, and its fine for them, i was just amazed..... and lol
YOS i couldnt get into the BIOS anyway to make those changes.... i built the comp in my dorm room and all i had was a USB keyboard.... and if there is a setting to enable USB on boot or whatever... it was disabled.....
