Low 3D Mark score

I just built a new system for myself--The only thing that stayed inside was the HD (I have a raptor, but I can't use it for a couple days when I get a new windows cd).

So I installed everything, and I'm using the Hard Drive which I had on my old system. I am configured like this:

E6400 @ 3.2GHz
Tuniq120
P5b-Deluxe
PNY GeForce7900GS (468/681)
7200RPM WD 80GB SATA (only about 5gb remain on my hd)
2GB OCZ Platinum Rev 02 4-4-4-15

I ran 3DMark06, and got about 4500... I realize that is low--why, or how, could this be happening? Would not having a brand-new-clean-hard drive have this much affect on my benchmarks?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

The review says 4600.
Yours is 4500.

A whopping 100 points lower. Thats within the +/- room of error so your good.
Seems about right 😛

Edit:
And it's not that low.

Edit2:
A new HD wouldn't really affect the score because it basically loads everything it needs to memory before it starts the benchmark. The only thing a new HD would do is improve the load time.
