Default Ready to install FS2004, guess that 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...detail.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.

If you think my system wont run the thing well, please say under what
circumstances and at what frame rates.

Thanks.

I also will be receiving two cordless controllers, a joystick and a force
feedback gamepad. I rarely spend on this stuff. I am giddy as all get out.

Especially since low end geforce 4s are slower than regular geforce 3s.

My point is that the upgrade sometimes isn't. You pick a price/value point
and cope with the hype.
