Hi All,
OK firstly take a quik look at This If you havnt already seen it.
Now I ended up buying a PNY 7600gt , 1 month old off Ebay. Fitted it started up and first it did the same as before, started to load , blue screen error flashed up for a second then it rebooted and went to safe mode options screen. Oh yeah there were NO lines down the screen! Any way I booted up in safe mode,windows found new hardware and I added the drivers off the disc.Restarted and booted ok,windows said it had found new hardware again,I cancelled it and updated to the latest drivers from Nvidia site. All seemed well, but each time the pc is restarted windows keeps finding new hardware and I keep canceling it, The card is recogniosed in the devices list as the display adapter.Like I say , all seemed well but when playing more intensive games such as BF2, I just didnt feel I was getting the performance I should!
Anywayz I decided to run 3Dmark06 earlier, baring in mind I got a score of 1259 with the 6600gt using tweeked driversat clocks of 501+1002,about 3or4 months ago,and looking at other marks by simular spec pc's, I was expecting a mark of at least around 2000!!! Well this is the Score!!!
YES 1096 pretty dissamal I Know!, but as I went through the results I noticed THIS The results on the right are a simular spec pc I compared too, but notice the agp which I persume meens pci ex, its only at 1x and no FSB on the cpu!
So is what could be causing my performance issues? And if so how can I fix it??
As always all help is greatly appretiated, Thanx Gaz!

It told me thatit was 16x, but still no front side bus,. So I did anouther search on google and come across a forum saying resetting to the optimised settings in bios had sorted it for them, which I tried then ran 3DMark again and got a better score of 2972 
but still no fsb :?
