Specs are as follows:

AMD Opteron 170
2x1 gig Mushkin Redline
DFI Xpert mobo
PC P&C 520WPSU
Thermaltake Armor
Xp-120 + Panaflo
2x EVGA 7800GT/CO

My score for 3d'06 was a measly 4102.. I have SLI configured but I do not know why it is so low. I am running my video on a dell 24" lcd at 1900x1200 but the benchmarks are 1280x1024.

Nothing has been overclocked, throughout my ordeal, ive rma'ed a PSU and one of the 7800's.

I have my bios setting changed from 16x to 8x pipe.

Can someone help me out?

That's seems normal to me. Considering that 3Dmark '06 takes advantage of Pixel Shader 3.0. The Nvidia cards have issues displaying that. ATi doesn't. (I'm not an ATi fan)

Also, be sure you're not running HDR + AA. Nvidia cards don't support it!
