Train's right I think..video too old. Not to fear--when your new card's in there, it'll show up--just use those settings (and the ones I gave you for 3DMark2000). Once you get a new monitor, you can reset it to "Adapter Default" and use the original settings for the test.

I'm thinking this computer had the video built into the motherboard and not a card. The only two cards are the modem and the sound card.
I'll know where to look when the time comes now anyway. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Haven't pushed the submit button yet for the RAM. Think I really should get two at that price?

My video is built in also.

If you want it go for 256.

Mine is ATI Rage LT PRO 2X from what it says??

Save freight later. Only $10.00 more than I expected to have to pay for 128MB. Then with the rebate of $20.... yeah I'm doin' it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Then JUMP the old add $10 and double thingyyyy, AHHHhh. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

256MB for 57 bucks ! What a deal. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

One thing I am worried about that I just noticed. My Western Digital HD is not an ATA66...it's an UltraATA/100. Is that a problem? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

NO It will run a ATA66 or ATA33. Backward compatible. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Despite the hd manufacturers' hard advertising, lauding these ATA-66 and ATA-100's to the skies, you have to remember that we're talking about maximum burst rates of 66 or 100. Certainly your mobo should support burst rates like that in order to support a hard drive that is capable of such rates, but does the hard drive constantly run at those speeds???
NAY. It's just capable of doing so. The real speed increase you'll see is the fact that new hard drive can access a bit faster because of the rpm's. 5400 vs. 7200--there's the naked eye advantage really, when it all boils down to it. If the burst rate exceeds the "normal" 33, say, the system hit 58 because it needed to, well glory be, you had a 66 in there and it just happened to be able to handle it. Not much difference between the 66 and 100 if any--program requirements won't hit 100 transfer speed anyway. Remember we're talking about a couple of seconds access speed here, if that.
You'll see the difference between a 5400 and a 7200, but really just a small increase in speed; nothing super spectacular. Speed increases come in combos; tweaking swap file, vcache, registry, etc. in combo with a faster hard drive, more RAM, faster CPU. There's not just one single solution to speed/performance.

The soapbox is free---calling it a night--almost through with that S500 cheatsheet.
Nite all...

Yes ! That's what scared me. When I looked back at the list of our componants it said ATA66 but I got out the box this one came in and it said ATA/100. I didn't even think about that part of the numbers when I bought it. Mighta screwed up ! Especially since it's already in !

EDIT:
You posted as I was bistro. Thanks.
I will sleep much better now.
Night

Pooped out from that Super Bowl party....?

Hmmmm...I sent him a tip sheet on how to build a mainframe computer in your basement for only $100....maybe he's busy with that...
