What score should I get?

I know that you should never put loads of importance on 3D Mark 2001SE benchmarks when it is game performance that counts but I have seen many people post their scores over the months and wondered whether mine was a bit too low based on my setup. After all you can still use 3D Mark as a guide to see if your system is heading in the right direction configuration wise after you have set it up.

My Rig:

AXP 2500+ @ 2GHz
Asus A7V333 rev 2.0
2 x Corsair XMS 256MB PC2700 @ 2-2-2-5
PNY Geforce 4 Ti4600
Audigy 2
2 x Barracuda 60GB (RAID 0)
Windows XP Pro & DirectX 9
3D Mark 2001SE default settings (1024x768 60Hz)

I have tweaked settings in bios and tried different detonator versions and my highest score is 12,600.
I never go to the extremes of shutting down all task bar apps and turning off all bits and bobs in Windows but I do make sure that I run the bench mark with no other programs loaded and repeat 3 times and take average after normal restart each time.

Any thoughts - what are your scores on comparable system?
Thanks people.

4.77MHz to 4.0GHz in 10 years. Imagine the space year 2020

Thanks people. I am summarily reassured by your responses. You always question your PC when you see some guy posting 14k - 15k scores with similar specs but it looks like my machine is around the right area.

Now I just need to improve my 1603 3D Mark 2003 score
Cheers guys.
