Hi I'm sorry if this is OT but I have searched everywhere and I can't find a solution. I have a Geforce2 mx 400 (Supposed to be the faster version of the mx) and I expected programs to run fast with them and at first I didn't notice that they weren't. I mean Unreal Tournement runs at a decent frame rate and I wasn't bothered. But while running one of my programs noticed that with NOTHING being drawn the frame rate only gos up to 300fps. So I ran 3DMark 2001 and I only achieved 640 points. I searched the internet for benchmarks of similar machines and found that they had scores of 1100+. I am running Windows 2k, and I have the latest Detenator drivers and the latest Via 4 in 1 drivers. I only have an AMD k6-2 500 and an Via MVP3 chipset but my 3DMark scores should be higher than this. So if any of you have any possible solutions please tell me this is driving me mad. (Whats even more worrying is the computers at my college are performing better than mine) Oh and My motherboard only supports AGP 1x and 2x but the graphics card supports 2x and 4x does this make alot of difference to the speed?

Thanks that was a quick reply. I thought it might have been something to do with Win2k. Guess this means an upgrade :D. That is unless there is any way of speeding it up that you guys know of?

Thanks Shag

I used your program and the fps went up to the grand(sarcasm) score of 433fps. Something has gotta be wrong thats half your score on a faster processor. I cant believe the AGP speed can make that much difference, can it?

The k6-2 is an incredibly poor cpu. I have my doubts to whether it would be faster than the p2 350.

Well according to benchmarks and reviews the K6-2 is equivelent if not slightly better than the P2. mine is running at 504 mhz. Maybe youre getting mixed up with the Cyrix MII as these do run ALOT slower than a PII.
