I don't think it's particularly CPU based, considering someone with a 2900xt and 3.6ghz quad core scored less than a quarter of what an 8800GT scores with a slower CPU.
It just doesn't run well on ATi for some reason, possibly drivers.

252.0 on Vista x64 and 8800GT .. seems abit low
Nah thats about right, try it on XP your result will shoot up.
XP32, XP64 aint as supported as Vista64 I dont think, try dual booting, Vista is not that bad once you clear all the crap out
.it's not so much the crap, the last couple of days my hard drive has been on some kind of spaz attack, not sure wether its the vista search indexer or what but its constantly being pounded and i cant track down the processes causing it
i scored higher with a dual core with a 2900 than the quad core with a 2900.
it must be driver issue..
Disable, Windows Search (Indexing), System Restore and clear the Hybernation file using Disk Cleanup.
As the download links for this program are stupidly slow, i've put the exe on my server, link below.

Sommits wayyyyy wrong with this. On Vista 64, I get 148fps at 1280x1024 and 195fps at 1680x1050. I aint getting near the 400fps I should get with ease.

I'm using Vista 32-Bit so I don't know whats up there. I'm guessing this is probably just one of the worst and most innacurate benchmarks that was ever executed on any of my PC's
