you might need to go to the site and register for an account for the Online Result Browser, first. http://service.futuremark.com/servlet/Inde...geid=/orb/login

but i'm trying to go there and it's not working, so the server might have just crashed...

3DMark2003 is aimed at DX9 cards - the min specs are 1ghz and 256mb i think

try 3DMark2001

also i have no idea what's up with the online browser tried it myself a second ago

what video card do you have? that benchmark is nothing more than a test of hardware support for directx 9 graphic effects. if you don't have a Radeon 9500 or up, or GeForce FX, there's no point in running the test.

try 3DMark 2001, or some other graphics benchmarks that are aimed more toward the generation that your videocard was from. also, look around for some openGL tests... there are lots of games that use openGL (quake 3 and all the games that use its engine, like wolfenstein & jedi knight) and there haven't been any updates to openGL's hardware requirements in quite a while, so there should be nothing to disqualify your card from running any openGL demos & tests.

your computer specs in your sig says it all. you have a really slow CPU, PC100 RAM is very slow. and the MX cant come close to run 3dMark very well.not only that but you only have a PCI slotted Video Card.
