Tweaking and optimizing my new system.

[Decad02]

I haven't done much tweaking (only a few XP tweaks) and haven't done any OCing. I'm running the 7.1 Catalyst drivers, and I believe the motherboard and bios are all at default (what they came with...I didn't install them).

I did a 3DMark 2006 benchmark and got:
3DMark2006 Total: 5504
SM2: 2193
HDR/SM3: 2486
CPU: 1651

Any thoughts?
