OKay..let me start off with my stats
Soyo Dragon KT400 Ultra
ATI All in Wonder 9700 Pro @ 348/324
640 megs of 266 DDR
200 Gig Western Digital 7200 HD with 8 Megs of Cache
AMD 2400+ XP
Windows XP sp1
Latest drivers, vian 4in1 and catalyist blah blah blah....
okay here is something that for some dumb reason, is bugging me. I had my all in wonder running in windows 2000 w/ service pack 3 or something..don;t really remember. Any ways, in 3Dmark03 I got a score of 4651. My highest score ever. In Windows XP SP1, i got a score between 4535 and 4635 and stuff. I'm thinking that after following some of the tweaks found in the XP tweak guides on www.tweaktown.com, that maybe i have some how hurt my video performance. I did the usual performance gains found in the xp tweak guide. IOPageLocker, Largesystemcahce...blah blah..the usual stuff. Perhaps these tweaks hurt my video? Has anyone else experienced this. Or does going from windows 2000 to XP have that affect on all video cards? Does XP just not performe well with 3dmark03 and video cards...help me understand!!! I feel as though my system is not at optimum!
