No upgrades. That's the whole point, all these test were performed on same
config in bios. Only changes were in ATI panel, as mentioned.
I know duron1,3 is not fast, but it's my secondary system, mainly for
surfing, movies and downloading.
However

I dunno... I have no idea what youre comparing your 8500Le to...


But what do you think? Is it kinda good for this system?

More than enough power for movies, surfing and downloading.


I ran standard becnhmarks with r8500le 64mb, using cat4.1., 256mb agp
apperture, agp4x.

In "3Ddirect3d" i set slider to "default" (high quality texture. and
mipmap), the result was 6320.
I set now to "maximum performance" (performance texture and mipmap), the
result came 6324.

That's only 4 marks difference? Is it normal?


I'm on duron1,3GHz, pc133 sdram, win-xp pro, dx9.0b, abit kt7A mobo.

Upggraded to what?

Also... duron 1.3 / PC133 will severely effect performance.... MORE
CPU power is needed.
