What benchmark program can I use on older systems?
I downloaded 3DMark2001SE on my main system and tested it. Had to get DirectX9.0c, but after that it worked.
But I tried several benchmark programs (3DMark2001SE, 3DMark 2000 1.1, 3DMark99MAX, and XL-R8R) on my other 2 systems, and none would work. They all said they needed more on the 3D hardware/software in my system, that my 3D stuff wasn't detected, things like that.
The older computers are:
1. Dell Latitude CPi-A366XT laptop, it has the NeoMagic 2200 2.5 MB video card in it.
2. Abit BP6 with twin 533 Celerons @ 600, and a 16 MB Visiontek NVD01.0 video card.
I downloaded Direct X 9.0c onto all 3 computers, but that didn't help.
I don't expect these 2 computers to be anything great, but I would like to see what they can do.
My main system (Barton 2500 @ 2.2 Ghz, Radeon 9200SE, Abit NF-7 V2.0, 768 MB RAM) scored 4372 3D Marks.
How do you get the picture to post here from 3D Mark? I see that a lot of people have it.

To get a picture to post:
1) Press "print screen" on your keyboard
2) Go into a graphics program, open a new document, and press paste
3) Trim the image down so that only the area you're intersted in is visible
4) Save it
5) Attach it to a post
I scored 4377 on '01, and 640 in '03.
That print screen thing didn't work. It wouldn't do anything, and I tried opening that small screen with a few different programs, including picture and fax viewer, and nothing worked.
I'll look at the SiSoft Sandra program.
Usually, you won't notice anything when you actually press the key. Sometimes there's a little studder for a fraction of a second.
errr once you have a saved picture, just how do you go about attaching it to your post. When I tried, by clicking on "insert image" it gave me a script prompt. Dunno what to do with that...
easy when you know how
Hopefully I can impose on you some time to show me how to make a kick_ass signature. I know this is a bit off the subject, but I find it strange that there is no tutorial available for us newbies to read up on how to do these things.
There are very few folk of the 4000 odd registered here that have personalised their profiles. Methinks its due to not knowing how to go about it.
I would be interested in getting responses from those out there who feel the same.
