Low benchmark score?

[sandman2005]

Ok first off here's my comp's specs:

P4 3.2 Socket LGA775
1 GB Dual Channel DDR2-533 RAM from OCZ
Sapphire X800 XT PCI-Express
ASUS P5GD2 Premium Motherboard

3dMark03: 10243
3dMark05: 4111

I ran 3dMark03 and 3dMark05 on this beast, hoping to get awesome scores for this awesome comp, but aren't these kind of mediocre for the hardware that I have?

Also, when it ran the CPU tests, I got averages of 1.1 and 1.8 FPS on the two CPU tests... wtf??? Less than 2 FPS on a 3.2 w/ 800 FSB and HT and 1MB L2 cache?!? Something seems wrong here.

Those are good scores.

On the processor test, you will always get really low fps's. Plus you're using a P4, which isn't great for gaming, and its one of the slower P4's, so you shouldn't expect to get amazing fps's.

I know they're decent scores, but shouldn't a PCI-Express X800 XT be pulling a little closer to 5000 in '05? Or do I have to overclock it before that can be reached?

It's more than enough, and it's not one of the slower P4s. I have a P4 and it's a LOT slower.

Those scores do seem a little low. I get ~13,000 in 3DMark03 and ~6,000 in 3DMark05 with a 3500+@2.53 and a stock X800XT PE.

He neither has a A64 or PE, so his should be slower.
