VooDoo3 1000

Well, I am on Windows XP Professional and have been using it in my system for about a year now without any problems with video. I play Red Faction, C&C Ra2 and occasinaly I install some Half-Life, what I want to know is there any drivers that I can get to improve my card's performance and compatibility with the latest games. I am currently using VooDoo3 overclocker to overclock my voodoo to 220Mhz. Everything is fine but I got a rating of 1336 from 3DMark 2001 Second Edition, which has led me to belive that VooDoo3 Overclocker is not really doing anything to the card at all. Please help me as a strive to push my card to the limit with a Globalwin heatsink & fan on the core. Thanks!

I have seen tests under xp that showed unless doing photoshop and the like, you will get more fps with 512 megs. Adding to that nothing gained unless doing the photo bit. You might try to set the vid card to no fastwrites and sba and set it to x2 agp if it isn't already and see if there's any change. Just some thoughts
