Hi,
I have a P4 2.4 with 1GB ram and a ATI 9800PRO.

I think that something ain't configured right but I have no idea.

The basics I think are all right, but my benches are pretty low.
I get around27K overall on Aquamark and about 5K each cpu and gpu.

For games the performance is less than I want, and I am just wondering if there is a utility that will tell me where to look for bottlenecks.

I have a feeling that there is something int he BIOS that isn't set for max performance, but I don't know for sure.
 
need more details like board, current bios etc....may as well check for a bios update.

u have the latest chipset and display driverrs as well?
 
CPU is a 2.4b P4
ASUS p4pe MB
RAM Kingston Value Ram PC2700

Running the original BIOS,
Have checked their bios updates and all of them just say, "added support for new cpus" as their reason for updating.

I have noticed that my 3dmark summary says that AGP FAST WRITE is disabled, but I cannot find anywhere to enable it in the BIOS.
