msi k8n neo2 platinum amd64 3500 nvidia 6800gt not preforming

don?t think my computer is running up to its potential. I just built it yesterday. I have an
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
AMD Athlon64 3500+
EVGA nVidia 6800GT
1GB Corsair Dual Channel PC3200 DDR400
400W power supply

I just have the stock fans running. My CPU temps have been at 44c and the gfx card has been running around 61c. I installed all the latest drivers for everything. I ran 3dmark05 and the best I got was 3900. And for 3dmark2003 I got 10900. Nothin is overclocked. Here is my benchmark link:

Benchmark results
What is interesting though is that my cpu marks are pretty good, but my 3dmarks is not that good.
When I compare to other peoples of the exact same specs, they just blow me away. I have no clue why its not working up to par. thanks
 
You double posted.
Are all drivers updated? Are you running 3dmark at the default settings?
Do games run fine?
 
I didnt mean to double post. yes, all settings are at default. I dont have any AA or anything like that. Games dont run that great. On city of heroes i turn the graphics all the way up and i get 30fps. and on flight simulator i turn the graphics all the way up and i get around 30fps. All drivers are updated. Look at the link for the benchmark, it should tell you everything about my system. thanks

Yeah i did get higher fps on 3dmark05 with the 66.81 drivers but when in game my fps dropped like 5 to 10 fps. So i uninstalled those and put the 61.77 back on. Whats the ponits of knowing your scorces for 3dmark05, shouldnt it really only matter what you get in a game rahter than a s*itty benchmark.

I just ran 3dmark03 score of 11017. For your fyi i guess to compare.

My specs are listed below

But i would be more concerned with your fps in games like doom 3 and cs:s. Report those and see if they vary from others that have the same specs.
