Not too happy with this score

That does seem low. My stock 6800GT with a 3200+ Newcastle got ~10,500. Have you checked the chipset drivers or the gfx card drivers?
 
Two flags show up. Your CPU score is very low. Check to see if your memory is running at bus spec with the AMD.

Another one is that your AGP rate. Do you have PCI-E? What are you system specs?

Your AGP should be 4x/8x, not unless it's a bug in the software. Then you would need to update your motherboard's chipset drivers.


http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php will profile your system to see if you are on spec.
 
Make sure you have the latest bios and drivers for your motherboard. Go into your bios and make sure you have your settings correct there as well.

You have a great video card, but your CPU is holding you back. Fix what is wrong on your CPU and watch your score shoot up.
 
This is my system specs:


AMD64 S939 3200+ @ 2.0Ghz
Corsair XMS 512MBx2 (1GB) @ 400Mhz in Dual Channel
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
eVGA NVIDIA GeForce 6800GT @ 425/1150
WD SE 120GB @ 7200rpm w 8MB cache (IDE)
4x80mm Intake
1x80mm side
2x80mm exhaust
RAIDMAX case w/ 420w case

Windows XP Pro SP2
NVIDIA 66.93 drivers

I haven't installed my chipset drivers because last time I did that (on my other pc with nforce 2 ultra) it caused the system to bluescreen often and run a little worse. My BIOS says it's the newest. My card is in AGP mode in the BIOS, running @ 8x. I'm not sure what the problem with my CPU is. I thought that this CPU would be a damn good one, and I havent seen results this low on systems that were almost exactly the same.

Here is my CPU-Z report.


Any help is appreciated! Something is not right!

^Just for fun!
 
That score is way too low. I think you do need to install chipset drivers. After reading threads on this board, I reinstalled WinXP by first installing WinXP slipstreamed to SP2, chipset drivers and then video card drivers. When I had previously installed XP-->chipset drivers-->video drivers-->SP2, I got lower scores in all my benchmarks.
 
This is a comparison of before and after the chipset drivers. I guess I should have tried to not be such a noob. Heh.


EDIT - Also note that to achieve these results, (over 3000 3dmarks) the GPU clock rate was DROPPED 20mhz.
