Check the In Order Queue Depth setting.

From badcaps dot net:
"Abit has a setting called "In Order Queue Depth". If you overclock the chipset, they automatically change it to 1. Put it back to 8 and you'll recover the speed a 440BX is known for. My board was still perfectly stable at 133fsb that way."

IIRC, the BX chipset was AGPx2 only, so I'm not surprised by that 😀

1500s looks to be correct for p2 450. very similar results here: https://thandor.net/benchmark/21

one thing you can do is run the RAM at CL2, since PC133 usually supports that when ran at 100mhz, that may give you a tiny boost.

as for the IDE issue, it's perhaps a problem with the SD adapter. some posts suggest that SD card size can play into this as well.

Thx, Order Queue Depth setting was good. Well, yes, than it is just less what I've remembered how much was. Seems this 3DMark2000 very much processor speed affected, since as I changed memory to CL2-2-2 and bumped CPU speed a little bit up, it got better;

I am afraid that cannot help you with your quesion op. On the contrary acutally. I have a question about that topic myself.

How do you know that these points are too low for your system?

Is there a point list what to accept from certain system specs or do you just had a different results with another similar system?

I am also interested in getting into bench marking. And I wonder if there any sources to know that to expect from the different systems?

Keep in mind Voodoo 4 4500 sucked. It ran at Voodoo 3 3000 speeds in most games, sometimes faster (Q3), sometimes even a little slower (UT)

That card in general scales very strongly up to around 1GHz mark, check this old review for example:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/641/10

Another fact is that it isn't very fast card overall, so I'd say your numbers are more than likely normal considering the specs.

Well I remembered with Vodoo3 2000 well above 2000 points i got. However i had Celeron 700MHz processzor that time.
Now I checked with further overclock, quite easily I could switch the Pentium II processor to 520MHz and,

that is +300 points compared to the base 450MHz. So yes, Voodoo4 4500 is quite need fast processor.

Anybody knows how i can update my HPT366 HDD controller to the latest firmware?
