Default Ready to install FS2004, guess the frame rate?

I home build my PC continuously. Configuration, Windows or BIOS, is
easy. However, seems I never get the (3DMark) scores like some who have
equivalent systems.

My system:

....K7T Turbo2
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...ail.php?UID=24

....Athlon XP 2400+ (2 GHz)

....512 MB RAM, 133 MHz

Dual monitors.
....NVIDIA GeForce3
http://www.pineusa.com/product_view.php?sku=PVT20AMA
....NVIDIA Vanta/Vanta LT (cheap TNT 2)

Windows Millennium. Clean, clutter free install (no System Restore
utility) on a 10 GB partition which can be enlarged significantly.

If anyone gives me specific instructions on how to set up the game for
this test, I will follow them to the letter. Otherwise, I will guess at
the benchmark or use one I recall reading in the archives.

Thanks.

I get decent frame rates, about 20 FPS. It runs smoothly. No crashing.

Out.
