3DMark 06 score -----> 14455

Well I just finished testing my pc with 3DMark06 and got a score of 14455. What you guy think about my pc ? I only paid about $900 bucks into building this pc. I can't push my cpu to 3.6ghz. My ram can't handle the over of cpu to 3.6. Any suggestions on pushing my pc to 3.6ghz ?. With 3.6ghz the ram will run at 1:1 ratio but does no want to overclock.

Are you kidding me? The quad is 9x. 9 x 400 = 3.6ghz. It can. Barely with that cooler. I think your voltages aren't high enough. Especially the FSB/NB.
