Is this low for a 9800 pro?

[Silverbird]

Greetings everyone-Happy new year!!

I've recently build my new Home-PC:

Abit NF7-S rev2.0 (Nforce2 - MCP-T)
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
1X 512MB RAM (PC3200)
Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB (Club3D-not overclocked)
Seagate Baracuda IV 60GB (Serial ATA controler-Serillel)

And it's running on Windows XP Pro (English). I've tried to test its performance on Quake 3 Arena and 3DMark2001 Pro and this is what i'm getting:

Quake 3 Arena (v1.1)--> 218fps (1024X768X32)
3D Mark2K1 Pro (build 200)-->13400 (Default Settings)

I would appreciate any advice on this, since this performance seems slow even with stock settings.I believe that people with a similar system should be getting more than that (without overclocking...yet!).

Thank you.

I have a 9800 non pro, and a weaker system and in 3DMark2001SE I'm getting 15,031, and in 3DMark03 I'm getting 5,676 points. You need to overclock.

Yeah, 218fps is pathetic, overclock it.(insert good humored sarcasm) Come on GWep. (may I call you GWep?) The Quake Arena score in the VGAIII was only 203fps. The numbers seem pretty close to par. My system (stats below) got a 16801 in the 3dmark2001 so the difference there is CPU related.

I'm all for overclocking to get extra performance, but shouldn't it be for performance that is noticeable and not overclocking just to overclock? The 9800Pro at stock speeds plays everything out at the moment, and quite well. Just my opinion.

Just curious if you have the proper drivers installed for mobo and graphic card.
