wonder why my 3dmark 06 so bad?

[chef_jd]

Well I am only getting around 14k for my 3d mark o6 and I feel it should be much higher. I need some opinions on whats going on. I will probably try to uninstall my drivers and reinstall them. Here are my current specs.
msi p7n diamond
q9450 stock 2.66
4 gigs ddr2 1066 @800 ocz reaper
1tb wd black
pc&c 750 quad.
xfx gtx 260 xxx sli

Push that 9450 to 400x8, and leave the Reapers at 800.

Yeah, 14k sounds a bit low. I get 12K with Q6600 at 2.4GHz and 8800GTX OC2. Your CPU is about 15% faster and your video card has 50% more stream processors. A gain of only 2k doesn't sound right at all IMO. Maybe you're using Vista and getting punished for it?
