I'm not sure if this is a good score for my computer. I was wondering if my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU. Also if I were to get a dual core say 3800+ just to keep my system alive for a while would it be worth it until I get a new comp in December? Thanks

I would imagine that upgrading your cpu to a higher clocked dual-core AMD would raise your cpu score into the 2000+ range. The problem is that if your thinking up upgrading in the near future, you might as well get away from that 939 board. No real upgrade path. Obviously, right now it's a good time to switch to Intel, but even getting a AM2+ board with all the bells would be a better option than another 939 cpu.
