hi guys, I receive only 1/2fps in the CPU tests in 3d Mark 06 ... yet surely my PC spec is good enough to wipe the floor with it? my PC spec is as follows:

Q6600 G0 OC to 3.0GHz (fsb 333x9) (all voltages default - CPU v1.24)
CPU Idle temp is 29 and load is 42
Foxconn X38A DigitalLife Motherboard
G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) PC8000C5 4-4-4-15 2T at 1000mhz v1.8 (ratio 2:3)
Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Cooler
Arctic Thermal MX-2
8800GT 512MB OC at GTX Speeds
Hitachi 320GB 7200RPM HD
Creative X-Fi Gamer Soundcard
Antec Ultimate Gamers Case 900
Corsair HX620 PSU

Any idea why it fails so badely? I've tested my CPU in orthos (running 2 instances at 2 cores each) at 100% cpu usage for 12hrs and it was 100% stable ... I've also received a Windows Index Score of 5.9

Any help would be much appreciated! :)

cheers guys
 
Ah ok so it's meant to be low, makes sense now so cheers guys!

At stock settings for everything I scored something like 13000, but since I have my CPU at 3.0Ghz, RAM at 1000mhz and 8800GT OC to GTX+, I should get a higher score.

For my Spec PC what sort of score should I expect?
