p3v4x question

~Matt76~ · 28th July 2001, 12:41 PM

I have a p3v4x mobo with 667 p3. I set the bus from 133 to 135 and every thing runs fine and stable (accept agp 4x (big surprise)), any way, I ran 3dmark2001 and at the end i read the detailed report that it gave me and it said that my fsb was 124. Now, is my motherboard lieing about the bus speed or is 3dmark2001 just messed up?

other mobo info
bios:1005
clock chip: ICS (not cooled) yet

ram: 384mb
os: win2000
graphics card: MSI geforce2 gts

Also, the q3 benchmark (all setting highest 800x600, demo four_dm.66) is 67fps, is that normal or too slow, if its too slow then how do i make it run faster?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

If in ure BIOS you are setting ure FSB to specific speeds, then definately you are running at the BIOS fsbs..

so yeh, 3dmark did mess up i spose..
