hello. i am relatively new to the pc world. 2 years ago i bought my first pc. 6 months after that i built my first one. now for the past couple months i have been working on overclocking. when i first started the bios might as well have been in latin. now, thanx to the internet and wonderful forums like this :) i have a basic understanding of most of the stuff in there. so isettle on runnin my e6400 at 2.8 with a 7x multiplier and a 400 fsb. i do not do anything with ram or gpu (im taking baby steps) so i run orthos overnight (approx 71/2 hrs) and it was stable. my temp never got past 51c. so im all excited, im gonna run my very first benchmark. so i download the free 3d benchmark from future mark. i run it, check results online, and....well i dont know what im supposed to think. i guess i expected higher numbers but i really dont have a clue if i should be happy or sad!?!?!? so basically im asking.......are these numbers good, bad, avg???? thank you in advance for your reply and/or suggestions.

Cpu is were it should be, as should the graphics card. In order to see some big numbers you need a new graphics card.

8800gt or 8800gts 512mb are the best bang for the buck. The new ati card coming might be good as well.
