I downloaded the free version of 3DMark03 today. Here is my setup:
2800+ AMD XP
1 gig PC3200/ Dual Channel Enabled
128 MB TI-4600
Running Windows XP Pro SP1
My machine scored a whopping 1763 
, am I wrong or is this score extremely low?

That explains it. Still trying to hold out on upgrading the video card a little longer. I still get good gaming performance, so I won't worry about it.
On a side note, just for laughs I tried running it on my laptop:
AMD 3000+ 64-bit
512 MB RAM (PC2600, I believe)
GeForce4 420 Go (32 MB dedicated)
It could only run one test, and scored 203. 
Oh well, can't expect much from a laptop I guess.

They look like hacked drivers to be sure, one of the reasons I didn't post some R9600 results I found, because they look fishy, but look below and you decide. There are a few R9600s that break 5K realistically, but they have INSANE OCs (700+mhz). I can break 4,200 with my R9600P OC'd, but it's a long way to 5K in a benchmark that doesn't have much impact from system OCs.
Like GW, I call BS on those, especially since they don't appear anywhere near the official list of results, of which <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1957007" target="_new">THIS</A> is the top one @ 4626.
At least the questionable R9600 result make the list;
<A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2732084" target="_new">It's officially the top R9600, but not believeable @ 14,562 bungholios</A> ; Hey it does better than the X800XT and the GF6800U (on a similar system)!
<A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2485193" target="_new">This one at least has OC numbers worthy of the results (5583 Bungholios).</A>
So I'd say based on just those figures that there's an issue with 3Dmk03 and hacks, like whatever Rickey used.

Sure you haven't. You use hack.. err cheat drivers... so what's the limit of a hack in your opinion? So bite-me plough-boy!
As for the highest FX5700U, you didn't even get that right, <A HREF="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2089903" target="_new">this one is got 6066</A>
And who cares that it's only run at 800x600, you reduce quality to improve your score (unlike most people who want to compare results at default settings). Reduce resolution, reduce quality, who cares as long as you have top Bungholios right?
BTW, your results aren't valid anymore. I guess that was inevitable though.
Still not valid though. Not that that matters much since that 14K by the R9600 has valid WHQL certified drivers, but yours still doesn't qualify.
So either publish valid results (if you can) or else it's a hack, either through willful deception or ignorance.
Talk about e-penis you're major contribution is THIS, aand you talk about my e-penis? I don't even post my top Bungholios anymore!
As for the rest of your post, sure whatever dude.

I don't know, and that's why I say, there's alot of fishiness all over the place.
Just look at the results, and my mother nature is far superior to his (well the old compare I have is for the 535/355 run) but battle of the Proxycon is 4 times more than mines (27fps) and the spike in Troll's Lair the He11 out ot 180+fps versus my 24.5fps. Sure his wings of fury is slightly better thanks to a much faster CPU. I did notice something stange about his system memory reporting as 510, but other that that I don't know where to check.
Very weird, but F'in funny. I'm keeping the link for future R9600P/XT discussions.

Aren't you trying to beat it ?!
Nope.
There's only 3 people here who I've ever really benched 'against'.
GW, who still holds the title (but I have my own trophy of sorts), CasualCat (who hasn't been seen since shortly after we got our cards), and CS (who isn't much competition 
).
I haven't saved a BungholioMark2003 since Build 2 when I got 4168, without tweaking the system (competition ended before that point).
