Hey all,

I just ran 3dmark03 and for some reason my CPU tests are a little low. I have an AMD Athalon 3800+ (rest of my specs are in the sig) and for some reason I got around a 700 mark. The tests on Tom's Hardware were at about 800. I haven't ran these benchmarking apps before... So I was wondering, is my score very bad? Is there any way I can improve my performance? I have the new drivers and all. The same goes for my video card (a 9600XT at the moment). What tweaks should I do to enhance my performance? Do I even need to change anything? Thanks for the help.
 
Considering that 3Dmark2003 is a graphics card benchmark rather than a system benchmark, 3Dmark2001 was much more system dependant, I wouldn't worry about your CPU score. It is far from a CPU benchmark.
Prime95 or Super Pi are great free CPU benchmark apps.
