Hi i just bought a new computer, the specs are :

P4 3 Ghz 800Fsb
P4c800 Deluxe Mb
Powercolour Radeon 9800 Pro
2 x 512mb Kingston 3200
DvD Rom
Sony DW-u10a (500a)
2 x 120Gb Seagate Harddisks

Ok, so the score i got in 3d Mark 2001 is 14500 + or - , from other tests i've seen people run i feel my machine is not running to its full potential. I have not overclocked anything!

Please give me ideas on how to improve this score.

Might wanna check ram timings and make sure they're at a good speed (2-3-2-6-T1). Check temp and be sure the heat sink is properly seated with thermal paste or thermal pad or whatever and the processor isn't throttleing down the speed.

Ok, how do i check my ram timings?
The heatsink is looks like its properly seated!
I dont know if it has thermal paste/pad as store built it!
CPU Temp = 40c (This under min load i.e using internet only)
Motherboard Temp = 38c

I live in a very hot place in europe so its natural for me to have temps a bit high.

Any other suggestions?

not a bad score. keep updating your video drivers, BIOS, and AGP/IDE drivers

Looks like your running in 1x agp or not even in agp mode. Install agp drivers for motherboard, then direct x then 3d card drivers!

That is NOT a good score for a 3gig 800fsb P4. He should not accept anything less than 17,500 3d marks!!!!!!

Yes i realised in the 3d mark test that under agp it said none. Then again if i go to the advanced settings on me graphics card , under smartgart it says current agp speed = 8x. Is there any way i can check this?
