Also the same system (all hardware and installed drivers identical) can vary as much as 500pts with a clean format and reinstall (in w98se) which is probably due to an uncluttered registry. Defragging and trying different chipset drivers can help, and if all else fails you can use a peice of software like softfsb to spoof up a higher score (I think this still works anyways).
(said with perfectly strait face)Remember, it isn't how fast your machine really is that is important. It's how high your 3dm2k1 says it is. (/smirk suppression)
i appreciate your reply, do understand however that everything you mention I am well aware of. Most listed scores also list the cards speeds out of courtesy or boasting rights, all my scores were shot on clean installs with nothing but the absolute bare minimum software installed. read some my previous posts on this board to get an understanding of what was done. I am not new to this stuff, i do *know* there are some tricks and thats what I was searching for.
