--Benchmark Guide--

If you look up a few posts, I said to search the forums because guides for the benchmark are everywhere in the forums floating around.

Helloooo...I have a question...

My computer is as follows:

Intel Pentium Celeron 2.2 GHz
256 MB DDR RAM
ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB PCI

I try to run the benchmark, but it gives me the same wacky Direct3D error I've been getting forever. I can't read japanese, so I dunno what it says!!!

Would a computer like this normally be able to run the game, or is it just my video setup or something that I might need to configure?

Thank you very much!

What version of directx?

[Pai Pai Master]

i just downloaded 9.0a

[snappurunyanko]

Are you using recent catalyst drivers and control panel? :3
Something could be stealing the focus of the program, or the card is just no good =>_>=;

[Pai Pai Master]

it's probably the card, seeing as how they said it requires a radeon 9000 or above. how could i not see that???

i'll have to sell it and buy a 9000 pci then

thanks for the help tho

I apologize, for I was not too inclined to wavering through 30+ pages of posts.


EDIT:
I just did a search, and it refers me to this thread, and a few others (which didn't help); is there any specific criteria that I should follow?

do you have anything overclocked at all?

the new 800 FSB pentiums are awesome for overclocking, you should give it a try

How do I overclock my system?

When I restart the computer and press on F1, I come to BIOS(as I should) but there isn't much I can change there, maybe I missed something there or is it a wrong place to overclock my system?

Btw this computer is totally new and very expensive so it should have "the new 800 FSB pentium"

Allso I've got a problem with my ATI RadeOn 9700 Pro TV-OUT. I see only black and white when I look at the tv and it doesn't show any movies when I play them on my computer(it doesn't show any movies on the tv but it shows on the computer). Can you help me allso with this?

Did you make your computer yourself? IF so what motherboard you have, and overclock your radeon go to rade3d.com and download the Tweak, do not raise the Clock a lot though.

I didn't make the computer myself.

How do you see which motherboard you have?

Btw I have allready rage3d tweaker program

where did you buy your pc from, you could download 3DMark 2001 and go into system information and it will say what motherboard you have
