I tried all patches separately, 1 through 4, and none of them worked in Windows 2000. I've done a fresh install of the system today, with Windows XP. 3DMark2000 runs fine without any patches! There is no 50% CPU activity and lock-up when launching the application. I haven't run any full benchmarks …

Are you running 3dMark straight from the standard installation, or have you applied fixes created by members like teleguy from this forum? Check this thread. It has many solutions, but also links to other solutions threads: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=33579&hilit=3dmark2000+fix&start …

None of the patches provided here work for running 3DMark2000 on modern hardware (a dual/multi-core CPU) on a legacy OS such as Windows 2000. in 2000, there is no Compatibility Mode to make use of, and the patches by themselves don't allow 3dMark2000 to launch. I'm having the same issue as described …

Nforce 3 has too many quirks with drivers, so it's a hard pass. Depends on what OS you use. If you use Windows XP or Linux on this motherboard, or the ASRock-AliveDual-eSATA2, then there are no such quirks, as others have already attested to. Oh, btw Nforce 3 has freezing problems with GeForce 6800 …

I have the CT4760 and this works perfectly OOTB with the Liveware 3.0 CD installation in Windows 98SE. I don't have to specify whether to use WDM or VxD drivers. I use the same card in the same rig for Windows 2000 SP4, and I use the official Live! drivers from June 2001.
