Stuck together a HTPC recently. Only today got round to overclocking it. Anyhow does the below score look about right.

Spec as follows

E2200 @ 3.4ghz
4gb OCZ PC6400 ram @ 850mhz
MSI Neo2 P35 FR
HD3870 512mb (Core 860, Ram 1266mhz)

I'm not too sure to be honest but you should check the 3dmark thread. That would have been a lot easier in the first place :p.
 
Most I've got was 10496 with this:

e2160 @ 3Ghz
2Gb Corsair @ 1146Mhz 6-6-6-15
OcUK IP35 Pro
HD3850 512Mb @ 759/900

So yeah, with your higher CPU and GPU speeds, that looks spot on mate. Next up, pencil mod and/or crossfire :D
 
It basically involves shading a resistor with a pencil to increase the GPU voltage to help with higher clocks. Don't bother with it unless you're 100% confident. Anyway, you're probably limited to 860Mhz on the GPU as there is a BIOS lock on most HD38xx cards that stops them going over 860mhz despite the VGPU. FYI, I have just upgraded from a PCI-e X4 motherboard to a P35 and the increase in bandwidth isn't much to write home about, so having a second card at x4 should still be pretty good. It's what I'm going to do after I get my new Corsair 650W PSU :)
