  • 3dmark99 max Batch run question

    Someone had told me that a good way to test out the stability of your system is to run a batch run through 3dmark99 max and to run it 10 times which takes about 6 hours. I setup the batch run and left the computer running it, a came back a little while later and the screen was locked up on one of the agp speed tests. I had to do a hard reboot and after checking noticed that the batch run did not make it past the 800 x 600 tests. Now I have a K6-2 450, 128 sdram, G400 32 SH OEM (non-max but has 5ns sgram and is not overclocked) I have run the techdemo successfully and experience no problems except the occasional lockups in UT after playing a while. My card is running at agp2x without forcing it and busmastering is on. Apeture size is 128. Should I be concerned that the system did not make it through the batch? Could it be heat related even though im not overclocking? My card does have a max size heatsink even though its not a max. Any advice would be appreciated.

    PS. forgot to say im using 5.41 powerdesk

    Could be heat.
    Could just about anything (RAM, MOBO, etc).
    Try the batch again while forcing 1x.
    And you don't have a "Max" sized heatsink. MAX's heatsinks are small, and have a fan built onto them. Regular G400 heatsinks are large, with no fan.

          Sorry Jedi...
          Trying to nail this down to a gnat's ass is probably a waste of time, and will yield no results. Bottom line is- the SS7 chipsets leave a bit to be desired in AGP implimentations. If you desire 100% compatibility with the AGP spec, you'll move to a BX chipset. But if you are able to run the system in everyday apps, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. No love lost here between me and Intel, but their bloody AGP works as advertised.
