I've just installed 3dMark03 and ran it. I got a score of 310. Compared to the score of other similar systems, this is way too low. Here's my computer's specs, just in case: Motherboard ASUS A7V8X-X AMD Athlon 2600+ 512 ram GeForce fx 5600xt (@285Mhz GPU and 420Mhz Memory) I was about to overclock the video card a bit more but looking at that score it was a bit strange. Just in case here's the results of the benchmarks as well: Game Tests GT1 - Wings of Fury 8.5 fps GT2 - Battle of Proxycon 1.4 fps GT3 - Troll's Lair 1.6 fps GT4 - Mother Nature 3.2 fps CPU Tests CPU Test 1 17.5 fps CPU Test 2 4.2 fps Feature Tests Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 52.9 MTexels/s Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 229.7 MTexels/s Vertex Shader 3.3 fps Pixel Shader 2.0 6.0 fps Ragtroll 1.2 fps So, is there a problem here? Also, I'm a n00b with overclocking stuff, should consider a limit on the clock speeds? (before I start seeing artifacts and stuff)

Not a great board, not enough RAM, not a great video card. And there are several different versions of the 2600+...which one do you have? Have you installed the latest VIA Hyperion chipset drivers? http://www.viaarena.com/default.asp... Have a look at this chart: http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/10...
