3DMark2001 SE Score and question

MikeDaMan · Oct 20, 2002, 10:37 PM

I recieved a score of 9400. When I did a compare of people with similar computer setups they had roughly 11000. I checked what was so different in our systems and the only thing I noticed was peoples FSB was different than mine. Mine was 133 others were 158 and one person had his at 0. Is this considered over clocking (I'm pretty new to this) and is it safe to adjust the FSB?

On a side note about the RAM, I once had some Micron PC100 SDRAM from Dell.
Eventually I upgraded my CPU/mobo, kept the same RAM, and ended up running the RAM at 133MHz at default memory timings, with no stability issues.
Just a little testemonial for Micron modules.

Did you check theirs PCB color on graphic cards ? (PCB = color of the cards board on witch the printout has been put). This is very important, diffrent colors give diffrent kind of performance, green ones are the WORST belive me ! Whatever green might you have in your PC's caseing, re-paint it as soon as possible, and if possible, set your FSB to 0, if not, trade/change your mobo immidiatly ! Setting FSB to "0" is very immportant, that way the proccessor doesn't has to hasttle much, works with less stress, an so on....
