It is Low!
What res are you running at? leave it at deault. Also make sure you are not forcing FS AA of AF in the nvidia control panel. I have a similar rig you should be hitting about 14K

1280x1024
And i dont think the AA is forced on it think its just lets the applications decide.
no other programs except nod32 and xfire.
I don't think that is low actually, not if you're running stock @2.4ghz. A mate has a similar setup to you. BFG 8800 GTX OC2, 4gb ram, vista64 but with an e2180 @3.2ghz and he scores about 11300. When i was overclocking my e2180 to 3.2ghz my 3dmark score was flying up every 2-300mhz i did. I reckon if you were running at about 3.4ghz (like a lot of e6600's do) you score would be a lot higher.
I don't take too much notice of 3dmark06 scores these days. My mates system is exactly the same as mine. That includes overclock and memory timings, apart from he has the 8800gtx oc2 and i have 8800gt OC. We score about the same in 3dmark06 1280x1024 but when playing crysis @1680x1050, his is noticeably faster

thats good to hear, i thought i had a low score.
Ive got a e6850 sitting in my drawer for the past 3 months, i wonder if id get much of a boost from that.
If you wern't overclocking then that would be quite a abit faster. Even overclocking you would probably get more out of it than you could the e6600. The only problem is i dont think you motherboard can take 1333 CPU's ? Unless it can with a newer bios i'm not sure

That board can take 1333mhz FSB as my friend is running the same board and exactly the same chip as that. You will need to flash the BIOS though.
thats why its been sitting in my drawer for 3 months, im not sure how to flash it, ive read the instructions but it sounds hard

Not 100% sure with abit, but for my gigabyte, i downloaded a program from gigabyte that did it all in windows for me! Really simple.

Got to be a floppy boot.
Bloody stone age way of doing things, all BIOS should be able to be flashed through the OS imo.
What you been doing with an E6850 in your draw? Is it new or something. flog it.

I was wondering the same thing! Not the sort of "normal" item you have floating about your drawer! A few dirty mags, some toilet roll, and half eaten cup cake maybe, but not a 6850.
anyone?
