3dmark05 scores?

[linkinpark342]

Yea, i've seen those ones with the fx-57's and the X1800's going into the 14k's but i mean what's normal? More specifically, what would be normal for my computer's specs?:

A64 X2 +3800 @ 2.4GHz
OCZ Platinum PC3200 @ ~DDR400
Sapphire Radeon X800 XT (500:500 stock speeds)
ASRock 939Dual-sata2

I'm getting 5903, is that really low?
Thanks.

3DMark05 is major GFx oriented, so if your card is still stock, sure, it will seem low.
A more "true" bench for CPU/RAM/Mobo/GFx (as a combo) would be 3DMark03, or Aquamark3.
I only get 5732 in 3DM05, (@ 400/1100) so you got me beat already:

Don't let it get you "down", it causes so many insecurities in a user's hardware config. It's a brutal test.
I get 75,858 in AQM3:

Somethings fishy about aquamark. I'm not saying you photoshopped it or anything but i don't think 11,658 + 10,861 = 75858

Okay, that makes me feel better though to know that ~6k is normal .

I'm getting an error now when i run Aquamark3. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/GuyFromHellCS/error.jpg
There's a picture of it but i can't make heads or tails of what it means. any suggestions?

Since this is a software/driver problem it might help to say Omega's Cat 5.12 drivers and DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

I think Aquamark3 won't run on an X800 series video card like you & I have.

My X800 XL is unable to run Aquamark.

I searched & found mention of a patch that enables enable Aquamark to run on these cards, but I never found the actual patch itself.

Aquamark and its parent company in Germany seem to have gone away, and are no more.

5850 with mine.. seems normal

That is one very elusive file!

Anyone have a copy sitting around that they can link to?

[edit: *still searching for the link* is it me or has no one actually "downloaded" the direcpll.dll file and they have just run it off aquamark's servers or something like that. it seems non-existent now]

I just found a link to the Aquamark patch on the DFI-Street website:
