AMD 2500+ Barton
Abit NF7-S
Buffalo 256mb PC3200
ATI 9600Pro
Fortran 300W PSU

I?m getting very low 3DMark2001 SE scores. 6313 stock cpu and vid card. 7574 stock cpu and 530/330(660) OC vid card. All settings are at default. Most systems with same setup (besides 512mb RAM) are hitting double my speeds. Running Cat 3.10 drivers. I haven?t had the time to overclock the 2500+ to 3200 speeds. I was expecting scores around 12k. I?m new to all of this. My old system could barely run Diablo 2. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like you have fsaa enabled, yes you should be getting atleast 11k.

Yup, as usual, someone has FSAA and AF on without realizing it.😀:beer:
 
new scores:
11055 stock cpu and vid card
12397 stock cpu and 520/330 OC vid card

much better! Thanks.

how much increase in my score should I expect after clocking my 2500 to 3200+ speeds? how much extra if added another 256mb of memory running to dual channel?

 
Adding another 256MB Ram and increasing your FSB speeds will definately help, although there is no way to know by how much till you do it.
