i ran 3dmark06. my set up is Q6600 on an abit x35pro board and GPU is an ati x1950pro. nothing overclocked i'm getting 5535. does that seem low to anyone? i'll try again when i overclock the cpu

i've now overclocked my cpu to 3.3GHz and it's been running stable for a week or so, and just ran 3dmark06. the result is only 5686. not much of a boost to be honest. is the card that much of a bottleneck that there's so little difference or could there be something else i'm missing?

I was getting around 4600points with a X1950Xt overclocked & on a 939 AMD 3700+ chip. I changed this card to a 8800GTS 2 weeks back and scored 6600points. Now i changed from Winxp to Vista and also a E6600 Core Duo and now scoring around 9500points.

The video card i bought my self was real cheap on ebay & is alot better then i thought.

Just tried this on my new rig (Q6700, 4GB RAM, GTX 260 - nothing overclocked) and got 12607. Seems like an alright score...?

14,700.

06 always was a stupid measure of performance though with more modern hardware. My last setup was markedly inferior to my current on in terms of games performance but could easily pull a much faster 3dmark score (Q6600, 8800GTS 512MB)

Remember my first time running 3dMark'06. Pentium 4 3.4Ghz, 1.5Gb Ram, 7600GT. Got 1.5K.

Seems a bit low.
I beat you and I have an inferior card (9800GTX+)

Christ almighty i know thats double my score! Seems Intel are top again.

Jesus i only upgraded a few months and the upgrade did feck all really..went from a AMD X" 6000 to AMD Phenom x4 9850. Ive kept the same memory DDR2 800 would new memory DDR2 1066 boost my Score/preformance much?

Nope. Not at all really. Might give you a better/easier overclock though.
