Greets. Im a noob at OFP editing, but im very experiened when it comes to computer hardware and Systems. I myself run a 3gig HT P4 with gig 400ns ram and a Radeon 9800XT and my HDs are set on raid, my OS XP pro has been optimised for gaming via tweaking the Services, This is my Gaming box. I cant get much over 4000 benchmark IN a setting profile of 1280 x768x32bit at 75 hrtz refresh. i can prop that up to near 6000 at a profile of 1024x768x16 bit at 60 hrtz. Armstrong im baffled that you BM at anything like 7000+, Especially with a GF4 MX 128meg, considering that the main diff in 128vs 256 meg vid cards is the ability of the 256 card to run High bit colour much faster than the 128, both cards will perform roughly the same at 16 bit but at 32 bit the 256 card runs away from the 128.
Thobson, you may want to look at your swap file to improve performance somewhat, i set my virtual memory manually i set both max and min memory at the same ammount and as a general rule of thumb it is set at 2.5 times the amount of ram.
Sory to ramble guys BUT finally a thread on this forum that i know something about.
