3DMark 2000, still viable benchy for legacy systems?

[Nuts4GTS]

I frankensteined an old AT BX rig and decided to see how well it would perform in 3DM2K. Madonion's site doesn't appear to support online comparisons any longer so I have come here hoping to gauge results with some of my fellow HWC'ers. LMK if you can provide some comparison data

Here is what I got:

Default benchmark 1024x768 @ 16-bit, VSync off, Triple buffering on.

= 3,376 Marks

Test bed:

Gigabyte GA-6BA mainboard
Celly 566@850, 1.73V
96MB PC100 SDRAM
ATI Rage Fury Maxx (4.12.01.7942 drivers)

Isn't the default run at 800x600? All I know is my Duron 600@900 and Voodoo3 2000 @166Mhz scored about 4800 (software T&L and double buffer). It only scored about 1500 in 3D Mark2001se. I never tried anything but the default resolution.

nope, default is 1024x768...let me try 800x600 with software T&L, double buffered..back in a sec

I actually got a worse score...2,865

I will have to mess with it a little more!
