Hey,
I need a bit of help here as my new PC I put together yesterday is only giving me 4500 marks in 3dmark06 when it should be giving 8000 - 9000 marks.
If anyone can guess what is causing this from the following specs then please let me know:
Core 2 Duo 6400
Bliss 7950GX2
OCX DDR2 XTC 6400(1GB x 2)
Xfi-Extreme Music
Asus P5B motherboard.
Thanks.

I've got the latest nvidia driver installed.
Would an older driver give me a 50% increase?..
