Is this a good 3DMark06 score?

I scored 2999 with Abit AT8 32X, Athlon 4000+ San Diego, Scythe Ninja, 2GB OCZ Platinum RAM, HIS X1650 XT iSilence II, Seasonic S-12 500w, Samsung Spinpoint SP2514N, BenQ DW1655.

I want to know if people with similar CPUs and video cards have about the same. I mean single core AMD with 2GB of RAM and a 7600 GT or whatever.
 
Well...

You can look at the System Rig in my Sig and extrapolate!

I just installed a XFX GeForce 7600 GT card, the other day, and the 3DMark06 score was 2963...
 
it is much more dependent on vid card. I went from an fx55 at 2888 to an opteron 180 at 2604 (both on a 7600 gt) and my score changed from 2950 to something like 2970 or 2980.
 
I just changed some BIOS settings system BIOS cacheable from enabled to disabled and RAM burst length from 4 beats to 8 beats with almost no change in scores. I mean I changed them back and forth in different combinations and almost no difference at all.

I guess changing from Catalyst 7.5 to 7.6 might change things a little. The odd thing is, it says of all systems tested, 4 were similar and some tested at 3055. Well, that may have been overclocked or with XP tweaked. Maybe I should spend some time learning how to tweak WinXP.
 
OK, I had an idea and decided to search for benchmarks with the same card. Even with a much more powerful overclocked CPU, the X1650 XT only scores around 3300 or 3400. So, with my single core processor running at stock I guess around 3005 is normal. That's what I wanted to know.
