192 RAM...The test didn't point out anything bad
  • add Ram
  • check browser cache limit
  • scandisk for errors
Maybe I'll play just a little bit and see if I can get to the 200

Not really, I got some bud's who would blow that test away.
This is a three year old machine with lot's of upgrades
It didn't like my win98 drive, said the uncached speed was too slow.

I posted the link for them, waiting to see what kind of scores they get.

I only get around 2600 3dmarks in 3dmark 2001, some of them push 7000 marks

Am up to 289, may go tweak outlook security, and I don't even use it !! But, I have to get to 300 now, am so close Perhaps I am my own worst enemy for getting wrapped up in this.
Don't suppose there is any way this could lead to the spending of money do you ( We are starting to sound like a bunch of guys talking about gas mileage)... Rhett

Hmmm... I'm wondering how consistent these
test are.

I tried the full test after computer had been on
for several hours, with Zone Alarm running:

Scored 216 on full test.

Rebooted, did not start Zone Alarm:

Scored 212 on full test.

Make any sense?

BTW, it's a AMD K-6 III 450 (not overclocked),
128 megs ram, Voodoo 3 3000, Win95.

The test program complained that all my ram
slots weren't full. I would like to point out that
my bank account ain't either...

Well, all you guys you're killing me know, Oh yeah well my brother can beat up your brother so there

Rhett,

LOL, I agree and I am pretty sure we all have more time than we do money.

Having said that, next time we test I'm gonna sit next to $teve and brianf to see if I can copy off their answer sheets.

........I just hope we dont have any genious types in our class because I think they grade this test on a curve.

Keeps telling me to check IE security sites zone( everything is set to disabled) Maybe they don't like that I.m still using IE5.01 SP2

As long as this machine keeps running as well as it does they can give me a score of 50 for all I care
