Meh, the graphics portions is where it's supposed to be for 4870x2. No bragging rights there. 
What looks interesting is the 4k cpu score for e8400. That's extremely high for e8400@3ghz. I don't know how you managed that, but good job.

It's unlikely for single 4870x2 to outperform 3 gtx280 no matter what. Or are you talking about quad 4870x2?

Ah, I see, Speedstep. Lol, I just noticed that.

You're supposed to look at sm2.0 and sm3.0 scores instead of overall score.

Thermal threshold is 71C. It's over the edge.

Wow. I definetly recomend the OP to drop that down to 4.0 for survivability. 3dMark scores wont operate your system for you.

Tbh i was expecting more out of the 4870X2 with a XP 3DMark06 run, is the OP sure he has CCC correctly setup? Plus to the OP you've overclocked your primary gfx card's mem to 1000Mhz, but left the secondary at 900Mhz. That basically cancels each other out, put them both on 1000Mhz then try again, this should bump up your score a further 90 - 150 points at the very least. Also he needs to set the Tj on RealTemp to 100 not 95 (CPUID's HWMonitor with default 100C Tj is reading 10C over RealTemp)... He's actually running around 10C over 73C. 
My scores on VISTA 64 Bit
CPU= 4095
SM 2.0= 8871 -- 622 points difference
SM 3.0= 9957 -- 1715 points difference
Total 19698 - See Sig for Rig

Default 3dmark06 settings run at 1280x1024, with no aa. 4000s scales very well with AA and higher resolutions, while 3000s scale horribly. They're at two different ends of the spectrum, with Nvidia cards in between. The default 3dmark06 is exactly the right medicine for your system and wrong one for his.

Well then, all hail the mighty 3*** series 
. A fine example of the pointlessness of Synthetic benchmarks. I'll go back into my hole and wallow in my 3870's self glory 
.
all i get is 20505 with a single 4870x2 and a q6600 at 3.7ghz is it because im on vista 64-bit? heres a screenshot of my first run with 750 core and 900 mem and the newest driver
3dmarks mean nothing lets see your Crysis bench mark scores everything on high w/AA then we will talk real world performance, which is what seperates the men from the boys...LOL
P.S. I scored 17,800 3dmark06 with this rig and spent half the money you guys did..LOL
not exactly itz... I spent maybe 100$ more than you and i have more points than you... not exactly fair
and at toledo... wtf? is that a joke or something?
