3300 in PCMark05 (I think its too low) What might be the problem? Is it the ram that is pulling my system down to SUCH a bad score? What scores should I expect if I upgrade to 1GB ram? Thanks!

bottleneck you need to upgrade to at least 1gb for gaming even 2gb for future bf2 and fear like more ram.

What scores can I expect if i get 1024MB DDR400?

Seems right...I got 3370 pre-2GB, I'll download again and test, I doubt it changed much though.

You should make sure that you have the MotherBoard Drivers installed for your Chipset. They should have come on a CD with the board, or you can go here to get the latest ones http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1184

Make sure you have the latest drivers for all of your major components. Motherboard, Videocard, Soundcard ect and re benchmark.

Most of the time its someone forgetting to install motherboard drivers. I have a 6800GT and a 2.8ghz P4 OC'd to 3.5ghz on WC with a gb of Dual channel OCZ gold and i get 4990+ in 3dMark05 so you should get much much higher.

But that pc2700 ram needs to be replaced with at least 1gb of pc3200, you will see a very noticible improvement in performance.

Hope this helps gl.

I get a 7342 with my 7800GT, X2 rig in my sig, 2x512mb ram in dual channel @DDR374

EDIT: OOPS I thought I saw 3dmark05, I get 5195 in PCmark05, so the score doesn't look so bad now.
