3dMark03 Build 340 Score with my New System

[Grimmett]

Hi my specs are:
Athlon 3000+ Newcastle
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
2X512MB Corsair VS
80gb WD 8mb cache
GF FX 5900XT @450/780

My question is: I ran 3dMark03 with Aniso set on 4 and my score was only 5700 while turning that setting down to 1 i got around 5930. Are these scores reasonable for this setup? I was running an athlon xp 2100 with a MSI K7n Delta( I think) and I was getting scores around 5200 im pretty sure. I'm not too sure about that score but I really just want to know if the 5700s seems reasonable for my new rig and is there anything I can do in the bios to up my performance. I havent changed anything in the bios because Im unfamiliar with the 64's new features.
Thanks
Grimmett

Scores seem fine. BTW set aa/af to application preference for benchmarking. To boost performance you can overclock your video card using coolbits.

Thanks Sonic! Appreciate the reply. I've been looking around to find a guide explaining bios settings for Athlon 64 Cpus. I guess everything is set okay performance wise then. Thanks again
