Yes, like which version of 3DMark.

Yes, which version? And how is your in-game performance? 3dmark scores are ultimately meaningless. It's in-game performance that counts.

like the others have asked. it depends on which version.
If its 3dmark 06 its probably about right.

If its 05 it should be around 5000 or so.

3D-Mark06 tests for Shader Model 3, which isn't supported by the X800 series. That is why you score is so low. I have a similar situation with a X800GTO unlocked to 16 pipes. My laptop actually scores higher in 3DMark06 because it has a dedicated graphics solution that does support SM3.
