That score looks low for that setup, did you try with 128mb ram?
Did you try it without the usb card?

I do not have 128mb.
Will try without the Opti usb card but I read that 2.0 cards give problems not 1.1

I am less than 700 points from 5k with a geforce2.
Probably I would hit 5k with a geforce3

But do this will make a real difference in real world?
Probably not.

I get 5k on my ASUS p5a with k6-3+ 400@616mhz with a stock GF2 Ti. 7.76 drivers and a LOT of tweaks. I few months ago i swapped the gf2 ti for a GF3 Ti500. It uses the same driver. Result = I lost 400 points.

It didnt matter what I tried still got lower points with the gf3 Ti500. So my conclusion from my testing is that a gf2 ti is a better choice on a P5A board.

Did you remember any of the tweaks for your Ali board?

You can see my wprecit tweaks on page 27 of this thread.
I am using a bunch of tools on my ali board. CTU and a lot of others. I will come back with a complete list. I am at the moment in the middle of a move from my old house to my new house
