Upgraded K7S5A CPU - 3DMARK2001 got slower?!?

XP1800 to XP2400, both are 133FSB tbreds. Dropped from 8241 to 7760.
All four "games" turned in slower results and Lobby (high detail) took the
biggest hit. Any idea what's going on here? I'm still running PC133 mem,
BTW.

Yup. Checked and re-checked. Speedfan shows just over 2000MHz on the
2400+. At 100fsb, the 2400 becomes an 1800 and the benchmark numbers get
even worse.

Are you sure that you're running it at 133/133...?

OK. If you list your entire system, then people can get a better idea of
what could be wrong.

If you use two sticks of SDRAM problems are common. The fix is to use DDR.
