  In my review of the Absolute 
    Multimedia GeForce2 GTS it became apparent that the CPU was actually the 
    limiting factor in obtaining a high 3D Mark score. What stands out even more 
    from this benchmark is that the Azza KT133BX board with this same Duron 800 
    only scored 6292.While 3D Mark is a good benchmark for comparing your system 
    performance to another's, it simply doesn't show all the performance capable 
    from a configuration like a game benchmark can. You can download 3D Mark 2000

  Here, the resolutions are all separated. 
    You can figure out where your gaming preferences fall. For comparison the 
    Azza/Duron combo was within 3 to 5 FPS in almost every resolution - but it 
    got beat everywhere. This has to be attributable to the superior memory performance 
    of the AOpen AK33. Check out those numbers though - we are within a few frames 
    of 100 FPS in every resolution except in High Quality 1280 x 1024. That's 
    a lot of performance from a CPU that is sold by AMD as their "budget" 
    chip.
